LUSTRE/GLOW Workshop 6: Government Records and AI
April 20 @ 9:00 am – April 21 @ 4:00 pm
The workshop is organised as part of the LUSTRE/GLOW initiative, led by Professor Lise Jaillant and supported by Loughborough University, in collaboration with The National Archives and the UK Cabinet Office.
Building on the earlier LUSTRE project, GLOW brings together researchers, government professionals, colleagues from across the GLAM sectors, and AI specialists on both sides of the Atlantic to explore how artificial intelligence can improve access to government records, while engaging carefully with questions of sensitivity, metadata, provenance, and trust.
Across the two days, the workshop will provide space for discussion around current practices and shared challenges, as well as opportunities to exchange perspectives across different institutional and national contexts. Participation will be possible both in person at The National Archives and online.
