Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy has evolved from a theoretical discussion to an essential academic competency. In 2025, many academic institutions and libraries no longer debate whether to invest in AI skills, but rather how to do so effectively and responsibly. This panel will feature two library leaders highlighting how their institutions advance AI literacy initiatives. The discussion will focus on practical strategies for embedding AI literacy into library services; equipping librarians with essential AI skills; and fostering collaboration among faculty, IT, and students.
