AI Literacy and Media Literacy for Future-Ready Libraries
The Cambodian Librarian Association, CamEd Business School, and the University of Economics – Varna brought together librarians, educators, researchers, information professionals, and students to explore the changing role of artificial intelligence and media literacy in education and libraries.
Strengthening the skills needed for an increasingly digital future
The guest lecture created an inspiring professional-learning platform for participants from institutions across Cambodia to examine how artificial intelligence and media literacy are transforming education, information use, research, and modern library services.
Participants explored practical approaches to evaluating AI-generated information, identifying misleading and manipulated content, using artificial intelligence responsibly, and helping communities develop stronger digital and media literacy skills.
Four important conversations shaping the future of libraries
The programme connected technological awareness with practical, ethical, and educational responsibilities.
AI Literacy in Education
Understanding how artificial intelligence works, how it is used, and how it is influencing teaching, learning, and research.
Responsible and Ethical AI
Exploring responsible use, transparency, privacy, academic integrity, bias, and the limitations of AI-generated content.

01 Core concept Human Agency at the Centre +
AI literacy combines understanding, interaction, evaluation, ethics, and application with the ability to accept, revise, reject, or refuse an AI response.
02 Critical judgement More Than Prompt Training +
Participants examine intent, system assumptions, original evidence, accountability, hallucinations, bias, and whether an AI output reflects the Cambodian context.
03 Library profession Evolving Roles for Librarians +
Librarians serve as educators, verifiers, translators, and policy makers while keeping public good, privacy, access, intellectual freedom, and sustainability central.
04 Practical action Small Pilots with Human Review +
Possible library pilots include preliminary metadata, transcription, translation, Khmer-language accessibility, and image descriptions, supported by qualified review and documentation.

01 Ethical foundation Six Commitments for Responsible AI +
Responsible use begins with clear purpose, human agency, fairness and inclusion, privacy and security, transparency, and accountability with regular review.
02 Decision framework The Five-Question Test +
Before adopting AI, institutions should examine its purpose, the data entering the system, human review and decision-making, the evidence used to test it, and whether a human or non-AI choice remains available.
03 Operational guidance A Traffic-Light AI Policy +
Green covers low-risk tasks using public information; amber requires approval, disclosure, and human review; red protects sensitive activities from public AI tools.
04 Campus implementation From Policy to Measurable Action +
The session presents library roles, a request–review–pilot–measure workflow, a 12-month implementation plan, and immediate steps: form a group, map current use, and select one low-risk pilot.

What this session covers
Select a topic to view its key learning point.
01 Why it matters False Content Is More Convincing +
AI can make false information appear official, emotional, and urgent; information can spread faster than verification and influence real decisions.
02 Know the difference Five Forms of Misleading Content +
Participants distinguish misinformation, disinformation, fake news, deepfakes, and AI-generated media rather than treating every false message as the same.
03 Verification tool The 5C Check +
Before sharing, examine the Creator, Content, Context, Confirmation, and Consequence of the information.
04 Responsible practice AI Is Helpful, but Not Final +
Use AI for support, but verify important facts through official and reliable sources, review outputs before using them, and confirm that cited references truly exist.

The sessions encouraged participants to question information before trusting or sharing it, recognise the limitations of artificial intelligence, and promote responsible digital practices within their institutions.
They also highlighted the evolving role of librarians in supporting research, digital citizenship, innovation, lifelong learning, and equitable access to trustworthy information.
Strong libraries do more than provide access to information. They help communities evaluate, understand, and use information responsibly.
