Highly recommended reading! Esp. for those in the #AI4LAM world

Interesting conversation starter from @thisisaaronland on the SFO Museum blog: 'Shared cross-institutional vector embeddings – how we might get there' https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2026/04/06/shared-embeddings/ - is anyone up for kicking those tyres?

Rachel Coldicutt during #FF2025: "Let’s make tech work for 8 billion people not for 8 billionaires"

But when we isolate the photograph, bird, person, or any object from the infrastructure of memory — transport into it a foreign context, or sever its relationship to the story — it loses its power, and memory can become distorted. This is a way to think about archives, and datasets, and the power of infrastructure to shape our access to memory.

This and other reflections on the Fantastic Futures Conference this week at the NSFA in Canberra:

These are wildly distinct and incompatible architectures. To bring memory to AI, we have to translate it. That means adapting the forms of memory into the forms of artificial intelligence.
-
Contrast all of this with the infrastructure of artificial intelligence. AI is an infrastructure of GPUs, data centers, data annotation and maintenance, model training, water and power. It is an infrastructure focused on the collection and generation of data.
-
Memory is never filed away and reopened, like a file on a hard drive. It has to be re-inscribed through action and practice. The infrastructure of memory supports this: it consists of the stories we share, but also feelings, scents, and tastes, or returning to the places where things happened.

#FF2024 Jon Dunn reminds us all that you can join informal working groups on speech-to-text and more at https://ai4lam.org - anyone is welcome to join the Slack, attend online calls with demos etc #AI4LAM #FF24

Grant Heinrich from the #NFSA talking the first 140 days of using #Whisper #ASR for #transcription of archival material - that understands Australian English, including slang.
Begins with key principles of maintaining trust and forefronting creators.

The next meeting of the Research Data Alliance's Collections As Data Interest Group will be held on 18 September, 3.00-4.00pm AEST. It'll include presentations from: Daniel Wilksch (Public Record Office Victoria) who’ll describe the process of developing PROV’s collection API; and @ingridbmason who’ll introduce #AI4LAM and preview the Fantastic Futures conference in October. More details, registration link, and agenda here: https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/collections-as-data-ig/forum/topic/next-rda-collections-as-data-ig-meeting-18-september/ All welcome! #GLAM #openData #CollectionsAsData #ff2024

I'm humbled and awed to be in the company of so many accomplished artists, researchers, practitioners, guardians, technologists and designers as part of the Fantastic Futures Conference #FF24 Key Speakers lineup - presented by #NFSA on behalf of the #AI4LAM community.
Peter-Lucas Jones, and the work of #TeHiku Media in preserving and protecting Indigenous speech data of #TeReo is an effort I have long admired. Associate Professor Kirsten Thorpe's work at the Jumbunna Institute at University of Technology Sydney also centres on data sovereignty for Indigenous data, from an archival perspective.
Eryk Salvaggio - @CyberneticForests - also an alum of the #ANU School of #Cybernetics, like myself does incredible work in interrogating social and cultural impacts of #AI, especially in #ComputerVision.
Kartini Ludwig's use of creativity at Kopi Su Studio to empower artists runs counter to the prevailing norm of scraping the internet to build #LLMs and #diffusion models.
And Associate Professor Sydney Shep's trans-disciplinary work in book history and print culture, as well as her practice as a letterpress printer and bookbinder, is a fascinating exploration of how our cultural histories shape our futures.
Together, we hope to convene conversations that help shape the future of #AI and #ML within the #GLAM sector.
Huge thank you to Keir Winesmith and @ingridbmason for the opportunity, and to Ashlinn H. who I know is doing incredible work behind the scenes.
