This article adopts historical research methods,literature surveys,and theoretical analysis to comprehensively analyze the application value,potential risks,and risk mitigation strategies of embedding ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence technology into smart libraries,based on an overview of the development history and key technical features of ChatGPT.The research indicates that embedding ChatGPT-like technologies into smart libraries has application values such as improving resource construction quality,optimizing user service experience,enabling personnel with digital intelligence,and facilitating management decision-making transformation.However,it also poses potential risks including increased difficulty in protecting intellectual property rights,misleading conflicts in human-machine interactions,impacts on information security protection,over-reliance on technology for management decisions,and serious gaps in composite librarian skills.To address these issues,smart libraries should implement risk mitigation strategies including establishing collaborative copyright protection systems,comprehensively constructing technical governance mechanisms,enhancing data security assurance systems,innovating organizational leadership and management mechanisms,and promoting the construction of technical human resources.
