Information Access in the Era of Generative AI

Information Access in the Era of Generative AI examines how generative artificial intelligence is reshaping the way information is created, discovered, evaluated, and consumed in the digital age. As technologies such as large language models, chatbots, and generative search systems become deeply integrated into everyday life, this book explores their impact on access to knowledge across academia, industry, government, and society.

The book provides a critical and forward-looking analysis of how generative AI is transforming information retrieval, search engines, digital libraries, and knowledge management systems. It discusses both the opportunities and challenges introduced by AI-driven content generation, including issues of accuracy, bias, transparency, misinformation, intellectual property, and trust in information systems.

Combining theoretical foundations with real-world examples, the book highlights emerging models of human–AI interaction and the evolving role of information professionals, researchers, and policymakers. Special attention is given to ethical, legal, and social implications, offering readers practical insights into responsible AI deployment and governance.

Designed for students, researchers, librarians, data scientists, and technology professionals, Information Access in the Era of Generative AI serves as an essential guide to understanding how access to information is being redefined—and what this transformation means for the future of knowledge.
