A new open access book published with a Creative Commons license is:
Frické, F. (2023). Artificial Intelligence and Librarianship. SoftOption Ltd. ISBN 978-0-473-68682-6 https://softoption.us/AIandLibrarianship or https://oercommons.org/courses/artificial-intelligence-and-librarianship 

I just had a quick scan and this book (aimed at people like me who teach librarians) seems very readable, starting with basics of ontologies and what Deep Learning, Machine Learning etc. involve, and ending by covering ways in which librarians can incorporate AI into many aspects of practice - Chapter 11 is Librarians as Educators which includes information literacy. There is a Word version you can download, for those who want to use just one chapter or incorporate it.
