Health librarians, due to the nature of their work, the diversity of users' requests and the diversity of their information needs, along with the possible challenges ahead, it is necessary to benefit from artificial intelligence literacy more than before and be leaders in this field. In this regard, some researchers have proposed a model for artificial intelligence literacy, which consists of three foundations of functional literacy, social literacy and technological literacy. The main purpose of functional literacy is education. It means that he can teach in the library and receive training for his growth and development. As societies become more complex and information needs change more and more and information sources become more diverse, reading and writing need the ability to understand society beyond just decoding text. In this way, the need to have social literacy shows itself with a critical understanding of social phenomena. In modern society, the ability to use technology has become a basic ability required for communication. In fact, health librarians should have the ability to accept and use technology and accept what is popular in the society, learn and use it in order to provide services. As such, increasing and strengthening artificial intelligence literacy for health librarians is a very important effort to ensure the success of future libraries. Libraries that will be challenged by the emergence of artificial intelligence, low-quality service provision, and the abilities of their librarians.
