Are librarians the key for teaching AI literacy?
Librarians bring media‑literacy skills to guide students through AI’s promise and pitfalls.
On Jan 24, 2026 CBC reported that Canadian educators see librarians as essential partners for AI literacy. Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) head of library learning Reece Steinberg launched AI workshops in late fall, with about three dozen students signing up. 18‑year‑old student Kavya Raval, a computer‑science enrollee, praised the workshops for teaching responsible use. University of Alberta health‑services librarian Janice Kung from Edmonton is developing AI modules for faculty and students, noting libraries are often overlooked. Prince George, B.C., teacher‑librarian Joseph Jeffery warned that funding cuts are shrinking library staff, widening a media‑literacy gap from kindergarten to post‑secondary. The piece underscores the role of librarians in safeguarding ethical AI use across Canada.
