Generative AI is slowly transforming digital curation, so we've integrated lessons on its technology, ethics, and techniques into our online graduate certificate at https://DigitalCuration.UMaine.edu.
Here's a related job as a Critical Artificial Intelligence Librarian at Dartmouth, working alongside our faculty member @novomancy

AI is flooding libraries with generated content just as budgets and staff are at their most precarious. This Thursday at 10am EDT my ASIS&T webinar asks if we need to ban it, label it, absorb it—or rethink the library itself.

Is there a faction more dangerous to the preservation of cultural heritage than the music industry? Attacking the Internet Archive because "you can listen to 78s on streaming" is laughable, esp. given Warner Brothers recent abandonment of movie collectors whose DVDs don't work anymore.

Nothing digital can be preserved in a box, so I'm gratified that a new generation of curators including the Tate's Val Ravaglia and MOMI's Regina Harsanyi have embraced variable media—a preservation approach that encompasses performances and installations too. https://youtu.be/ZXU1TnTS1gA?si=QrYGJRKU5DYUb_mK&t=1390

@sonjathiel and @epoz explore how AI enhances user engagement with museum collections. #xCurator utilizes AI to personalize user experiences, suggesting objects based on individual interests. Machine learning, image recognition, and intelligent search technologies deepen collection exploration. The tool also encourages user interaction with large language models, potentially empowering them to curate and share their stories. #AI #MuseumTech #DigitalCuration
