Abstract: Libraries are undergoing a significant transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, enhancing information access and personalization. While these innovations offer substantial benefits, they also introduce complex ethical challenges, including concerns about data privacy, surveillance, algorithmic bias, and equitable access. This paper explores the ethical dilemmas libraries face in adopting AI-driven innovations, examining the balance between user privacy, accessibility, and technological advancement. By reviewing existing literature and analyzing real-world case studies, this study highlights the potential risks and proposes ethical frameworks for responsible AI implementation in libraries. Ensuring that libraries remain safe, unbiased, and inclusive spaces in the digital era is paramount to preserving their role in academic and public knowledge dissemination.
