In April 2025, Toronto Public Library launched its AI Upskilling Initiative, a large-scale project that provides Torontonians with free access to GenAI tools and AI education programs and events that support skills building, connect residents with experts, and bridge the growing AI divide. TPL team members provide an overview of this transformational project, the first large-scale public library AI initiative of its kind in Canada. Learn about the project outcomes, successes and lessons learned. Hear directly from those in the frontlines about the excitement, concerns, questions and feedback that community members have about AI and how public libraries can shape program and service delivery to inform responsible AI use for its communities.
