Abstract
Exhibition
Supercharged by AI is a collection of engaging materials exhibited internationally through a global collaboration between the International Association of University Libraries (IATUL) and the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA). This interactive exhibition was developed by Tactical Tech and Density Design Lab in collaboration with IFLA. Designed to engage communities with artificial intelligence through hands-on learning and critical reflection, and as a model for digital inclusion, the exhibition goes beyond technical exploration to spark conversations about the ethics, bias and societal impact of AI. It exemplifies how libraries can create inclusive, accessible spaces where communities can not only learn about emerging technologies but also critically examine their implications. This showcase will share experiences of hosting the exhibition in locations around the world. We will provide insights into the exhibition’s impact, engagement strategies, and how libraries as trusted neutral spaces can foster information and digital literacy, curiosity, and ethical dialogue around AI. Delegates of LILAC 2026 will be able to interact with the exhibition through this immersive showcase. They will leave with practical ideas for hosting or adapting the exhibition or similar initiatives in their own contexts.The exhibition will be delivered by members of the International Association of University Libraries Special Interest Group for Information Literacy (IATUL SIG IL) to demonstrate the power of global information literacy.
