About
Dr. Anele Mabona is a leading voice in the intersection of artificial intelligence and library science, with a primary research focus on the ethical and practical integration of AI systems within academic information environments. Her most-cited work, a 2024 systematic literature review on AI in academic libraries (10 citations), critically examines the barriers to successful AI adoption, identifying the often-overlooked pitfalls of unethical use and prohibitive costs that lead to poor user uptake. This contribution is pivotal for librarians and technologists seeking to implement AI responsibly, moving beyond mere technical deployment to consider human-centered design and institutional readiness. Dr. Mabona’s research provides a crucial framework for ensuring that AI serves as a tool for equity and efficiency rather than a source of new disparities. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers exploring the future of smart libraries, offering a balanced perspective that champions innovation while demanding accountability.
