Topic summary
Digital archives face the ongoing challenge of collecting and securing vast amounts of data and digital resources — now at the largest scale ever seen in the history of digital preservation.
How can modern digital solutions be used effectively and in a controlled manner to support archival workflows aimed at preserving and securing knowledge about audiovisual collections? To what extent do AI-based solutions support (or potentially threaten) archival processes, and can they be considered a real and effective aid for modern-day archivists?
We will present the National Film Archive – Audiovisual Institute’s approach to implementing AI-based tools for digital preservation and discuss our path toward developing a better understanding of how AI can support archival processes.
