James SmithiesOur AI as Infrastructure (AIINFRA) project has a website: https://aiinfra.anu.edu.au/.
AIINFRA is an experimental project. The goal is to design and build a prototype open-source LLM tool tailored for transnational (Australia, Aotearoa NZ, UK) historical research, but this will be in service of the primary goal of understanding the technical potential of LLMs and developing test categories appropriate to the academic and GLAM communities.
Introduction
This site provides a documentary record of the AI as Infrastructure project. AIINFRA will explore whether Large Language Models (LLMs) could enable a new era of transnational historical research. The project will run from 2024 – 2026 and be led by the HASS Digital Research Hub at The Australian National University. The project team includes representatives from the Australian Parliamentary Library, the National Library of Australia, the Aotearoa / New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs, the UK National Archives, the UK History of Parliament project, and the ANU Library, with academic input from King’s College London.
