My DigiKult keynote has just gone live!

'Hold steady: centering the human in the hype of AI' was my view of the potential and pitfalls for AI in libraries, museums and archives as of early October 2024.

Some 🔥 from @thisisaaronland on #GLAMtech / #MuseTech:
'The web happened and while it was absolutely the new, shiny, cool thing at the time it also happened to be the technology that most closely aligns, by design and by intent, with the purposes and motivations of the cultural heritage sector'

Clarion call for #GLAMtech from @[email protected]:

'We must work against parasitic AI tools. Those tools that exact a mephistophelean toll each time they are used, siphoning lessons learned from our use to sharpen a tool that can be reused for purposes that run counter to our core values. Think of the trade-off between increasing access to a civil rights archival collection using an AI tool that in turn strengthens tool ability to be used by a government down the line to suppress its population. It is a ghastly and untenable exchange.'

Including this vital quote from @emilymbender: 'I feel like there’s too much effort trying to create autonomous machines … rather than trying to create machines that are useful tools for humans.'
