Archives and AI
Archives and AI
September 4, 2018
The National Archives, Bessant Dr, Richmond TW9 4DU, UK
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming whole industries. Increasingly cheap and easy to use, AI seems to offer almost limitless potential to archivists. Machine learning technologies offer archives radical new capabilities and possibilities, while the challenges of appraisal, selection and sensitivity review of born-digital records might only be solvable through AI.
This free one-day symposium brings together experts from the field and archivists from around the world to discuss the possibilities that AI brings to the archive community, including data ethics, fact checking, handwritten text recognition and more.
Attendees (and non-attendees) can participate in the event on Twitter using #ArchivesAI

Constitution Day; United States. Prior to the upholding by the US Supreme Court of the US Patriot Act in 2001, it was generally believed that the US Constitution protected the rights of US library and archives users by shielding library and archival use records from government search without a warrant. That is a constitutional protection United States citizens no longer have. See the American Library Association's "Resolution on the USA Patriot Act and Related Measures that Infringe on the Rights of Library Users."
