New roles in AI are emerging throughout Industry, Academia, and Government. From responsible AI management to AI systems engineering, these roles require new skills, many of which align closely with librarian competencies. Roles in AI where librarian skills are especially relevant include organizing information, facilitating documentation, assessing societal impacts, and working with communities of both users and developers. In this paper, we provide mappings from ALA-defined librarian competencies and Library and Information Studies curricula to an inventory of AI competencies. We provide an analysis of five areas of alignment, as in correspondence, including responsible AI and social justice and data engineering and evaluation.
