Abstract

This paper utilizes the SWOT analysis tool to conduct an in-depth examination of the internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as the external opportunities and threats, associated with the application of generative artificial intelligence in advancing the development of rural libraries. It proposes proactive growth (SO), diversified development (ST), transformative (WO), and defensive (WT) strategies for leveraging generative AI to enhance rural library initiatives. The aim is to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the integration of AI in rural library development, thereby accelerating their transformation and upgrading.
