Theoretical analysis reveals how autonomous artificial intelligence challenges human agency in digital tasks, highlighting the critical role of information literacy.
This article asks what role does information literacy (IL) play in information environments where information tasks are increasingly being conducted in cooperation with, or delegated to, artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The article discusses recent AI developments and their potential consequences from the perspective of information practices, emphasising the ways increased autonomy and adaptiveness of information systems challenge human agency. The article concludes with a call for future research and action, highlighting the unique position of IL researchers and practitioners in shaping the future with AI.
