Title: Archival Images of AI: creating alternative narratives about AI
Presenter: Rasa Bočytė, Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid
The language, visuals and metaphors we use to describe AI are not neutral or inconsequential - cliches of white robots and glowing brains create hype, fear and unrealistic expectations. But what is the alternative? How can we as the AI4LAM community be more responsible in communicating about AI? In this talk, Rasa will introduce the Archival Images of AI playbook - a guide to creating more realistic and inclusive visual communication about AI with the help of digital cultural heritage collections.

January 2, 2025 – AI4LAM is pleased to announce that Associate Professor Dr. Ines Vodopivec has joined the community to help guide its strategic development. Her appointment as Secretary General comes as AI4LAM prepares to strengthen its organizational framework and expand its role as a collaborative platform for advancing AI in the cultural heritage sector.
The AI4LAM Awesome List is an online list of resources of interest to the AI4LAM community. It features very brief descriptions and links to learning materials, software tools, projects, and various other resources relevant to the intersection of AI and (G)LAMs. The list is curated and maintained cooperatively by people in AI4LAM. Anyone can make suggestions for additions, changes, and improvements.
We have new ways of contributing and making suggestions, so do check out our new page all about it!
