This session will look at the ways different institutions are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to help appraise, process, and make their collections available. How is the adoption of these technologies affecting our workflows, policies, and labor practices? Are AI/ML democratizing technologies for archives and archivists? How can archivists help mitigate bias and privacy threats both within the cultural heritage space and beyond?
