π’ Today and tomorrow, 21-22 July 2026, our Director of Curriculum, Dr Toby Hodges, is participating virtually at the Library of Congress AI Literacy + Learning for Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LAMs) Summit. He will give a brief overview of current activities and suggestions for how summit participants can get involved in the AI Carpentry project. π
The gathering, in Washington, DC and virtually, brings together leaders and stakeholders working at the intersection of responsible AI and libraries, archives and museums. The goal is to work toward developing resources that support the responsible implementation of AI across knowledge institutions that prioritise trust, authenticity, and the public good--building on and connecting to existing efforts. π
ποΈ Over the two days participants will:
β’ Day 1 β Share work and outcomes from AI literacy and learning initiatives across the sector.
β’ Day 2 β Engage in structured activities to develop shared resources and guides.After the event, the summit organisers will summarise the key outcomes and share the resources publicly.
