TechCrunch reports public libraries across the US running classes teaching patrons how AI chatbots work and giving step-by-step instructions for turning off AI features on popular platforms and devices (TechCrunch). The format originated with Maine librarian Hannah Cyrus, whose first class in fall 2025 enrolled more than 70 people; dozens of librarians worldwide contacted her after she published a journal article on it. This is a consumer-side opt-out signal that mostly doesn't show up in vendor telemetry or AI-adoption surveys, which is exactly why it's worth tracking.
