*Introduction*
Rapid technology change often instigates ethical questions, identity
shifts, and innovation simultaneously. Artificial Intelligence is not

chatGPT, Bard, and others has raised important questions about the nature
of publishing and library work, while simultaneously supporting innovative
practices and projects. This Special Issue will highlight case studies and
examples of current AI applications in technical services and publishing,
as well as historical perspectives on AI, and commentary on the future of
Scholarly Communication.
