Topic summary

Our company has created a working group focused on the implementation of Artificial Intelligence, called Responsible AI. The committee of experts has been established to advise 3Cat on the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence. This group, composed of individuals external to the organization and with recognized expertise in various fields related to AI, will advise and evaluate the work carried out by 3Cat’s Responsible AI Commission and will assess the work it undertakes. The Responsible AI Commission of 3Cat was created in July 2023 with the aim of ensuring that the Corporation becomes a pioneer in developing internal regulation in the form of a code of good practices and uses of Artificial Intelligence, both in relation to third party AI tools and in the development of its own systems. In this context, the Commission has worked on drafting ethical principles for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence; it has implemented a method to help 3Cat professionals assess the potential risks of projects involving the use of AI; and it has promoted a training program designed to inform employees about AI applications, associated risks, and the need for responsible use. From the Archive, we have sought to be actively involved and have developed a proposal that can be understood as our letter to the Three Kings regarding the implementation of AI in the Archive. It is still a proposal, and we do not yet know how it will ultimately evolve, but we are really concerned about how AI will affect our archive.
