The central hub of human knowledge known as the library is responsible for ensuring orderliness within the AI-disordered ecosystem. This is creating an intellectual AI chasm between educators and students who are principal respondents in the educational ecosystem. The Library-AI Handshake Model was developed to solve this ethical problem as a training avenue to equip both parties with the required AI information literacy skills to navigate the technological clime seamlessly. The model is underscored by UTAUT, TAM, Social Bias Theory, Theory of Perspective, Innovation Diffusion Theory, and the Situation Awareness Theory. The study concluded that librarians should be favourably disposed to the AI ecosystem as it takes a technologically inclined librarian to teach educators and students the ethical usage of AI. The study recommended that each academic institution develop an AI roadmap and framework to guide the ethical usage of the technology to ensure the academic integrity and sustainability of the educational landscape.
