EDITOR'S NOTE
Year-End Topics
by Brandi Scardilli
As 2021 comes to a close, COVID is still with us (Database
Review, page 30), anti-racism education is as important
as ever (“Engaging Children in Anti-Racism Work at
Your Library,” page 14), and what entities rule the internet continues
to be a contentious issue (“A New Proposal Seeks to Make
the Internet a Public Good,” page 18). These topics will continue
to be important in 2022, it seems, but, hopefully, the pandemic
will well and truly be considered over by the end of next year.
Another topic we often grapple with is that the use of AI is
now commonplace. Several articles touch on the implications
of this: George Pike talks about AI-based hiring bias on page
26, Bruno Herrmann suggests best practices for integrating
machine translation into your organization on page 32, Linda
Pophal studies how content marketers are using AI on page 36,
and Kashyap Kompella calls for AI accountability on page 40.
