AI is coming to Libby in the next few weeks. Here is information about the notices and controls regarding AI.
On title details screens, you’ll see:
*An AI disclosure that reflects publisher-provided information. There are three possible statuses: yes, there are AI contributions; no AI contributions; or no information has been provided yet.
*An "AI" badge next to contributors (e.g., narrators) that are disclosed as AI.
*A way to report a content concern for titles that have an unknown AI status. OverDrive will review reported AI concerns and work with publishers to update title metadata as necessary.
In Libby, users can set their preferences for discovering titles with AI contributions via a new Content Controls menu.
This menu will present AI contribution choices in four different categories: text, audio, graphics, and translation. Each category has several options, so that people can find the right balance for them.
AI Content Controls apply to all titles in Libby, whether you’re browsing or searching. For example, if a user disallows AI audio in Libby, all AI narrators will be filtered out of search results and library lists.
If you see anything of concern or have any questions please reach out to your librarian or to Libby/Overdrive directly.
