GLAM tech / metadata folk (but mostly probably Archives folk in practice), some help with a vibe check - if I say 'records in context', what's your response?
My DigiKult keynote has just gone live!
'Hold steady: centering the human in the hype of AI' was my view of the potential and pitfalls for AI in libraries, museums and archives as of early October 2024.

I've put some slides from my current (May 2024) brief over of 'AI at the British Library' online https://zenodo.org/records/11222113
#AI #MachineLearning #BigData #libraries #GLAMtech #DigitalCulturalHeritage
The British Library has been working with AI and related approaches –big data, deep neural networks, data science, machine learning, etc – for many years. This presentation will present examples of experiments, pilots and collaborations that have helped the Library understand the potential and challenges of AI with library collections for research and discovery.
I read 'Towards a National Data Architecture for Cultural Collections: Designing the Australian Cultural Data Engine' https://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/18/2/000678/000678.html
