Very encouraging that so far the two presentations on AI descriptions and transcriptions emphasise that AI is not a replacement of archivist, and it's more of a productivity tool.

This week I'm at the 30th Southeast Asia-Pacific Audiovisual Archive Association conference in Ipoh, Malaysia. I was contemplating whether to use LinkedIn as the main place to post my conference musings, but somehow the idea of burst of small posts over there doesn't really pass my vibe check. So digipres.club is still the more appropriate place. Maybe only highlights on LinkedIn.
