SUMMARY:GLOW-Ready (Getting Government Archives GenAI-Ready) Workshop 2
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n👉 Read the workshop report: GLOW-Ready Workshops Report \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the project \n\n\n\nGLOW-Ready: Getting Government Archives GenAI-Ready for Users is a research project led by Loughborough University\, working with partners including The National Archives\, the Cabinet Office\, PRONI\, the National Library of Wales\, and the Intellectual Property Office. The project builds on earlier LUSTRE/GLOW projects\, which started in 2022. \n\n\n\nGovernment archives hold born-digital records (emails\, documents\, audio\, and video) that are vital for public accountability\, historical understanding\, and civic participation\, yet they remain difficult to access and use at scale. Driven by the rise of generative AI (GenAI)\, users of these archives increasingly expect conversational discovery\, rapid synthesis\, and transparent provenance (what a record is\, where it came from\, and how an answer was produced). Archives and Knowledge and Information Management (KIM) teams need practical\, user-informed ways to adapt their services responsibly\, while respecting confidentiality\, privacy\, and other constraints. \n\n\n\nTo address these issues\, the project is running three workshops bringing together archival and KIM professionals with academic researchers\, journalists\, and public users of archives; producing a practical guidance pack and training materials; and building and testing a secure\, citation-grounded\, RAG archival discovery prototype. \n\n\n\nWho the workshops are for \n\n\n\nThe workshop will bring together people who use archives (including government archives): academic researchers\, journalists\, family historians and genealogists\, KIM professionals\, and anyone with an interest in accessing official records. Speakers are invited because of their direct experiences and insights as users – what they look for\, how they look for it\, what helps them find it\, and what gets in the way. \n\n\n\nWhat the workshops will cover \n\n\n\nThe workshop will combine keynote addresses\, short presentations\, roundtable discussions\, and structured breakout groups.

SUMMARY:LUSTRE/GLOW Workshop 6: Government Records and AI
DESCRIPTION: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.  \n\n\n\nBuilding 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.  \n\n\n\nAcross 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.  \n\n\n\n*We will continue to update the event page with presentation slides and recordings. \n\n\n\n*Some presentation slides and recordings from this event are not publicly available at the request of the speakers.

SUMMARY:LUSTRE/GLOW Workshop 5: Government Records and AI

SUMMARY:Online Lunchtime talk 4 with Helen McCarthy Exploring the Digital Record of Everyday Life in Covid-era Britain
DESCRIPTION:The fourth LUSTRE lunchtime talk on Exploring the Digital Record of Everyday Life in Covid-era Britain with Professor Helen McCarthy from Cambridge University took place on June 14. Please find the recording below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: The arrival of Covid 19 in spring 2020 radically altered the conditions of life for nearly everyone in Britain. From home-schooling and Zoom calls to social distancing in parks and mask-wearing in shops\, the sense of living through extraordinary times was inescapable. For many\, it was accompanied by a powerful compulsion to bear witness. Curators at the British Library have identified over a hundred ‘testimony projects’ launched by archives\, museums and other institutions early in the pandemic with a view to capturing and preserving a diversity of lived experience. To these might be added countless private efforts by individuals across the country to document their ‘new normal’ through diary-keeping\, journaling\, photography and art. Much\, although not all\, of this material has adopted a digital form\, reflecting the practical constraints on archival and curatorial work under lockdown\, as well the more general pivot towards virtual worlds necessitated by the virus. In my paper I ask how future scholars might approach this born-digital archive when they come to write histories of everyday life in Covid-era Britain. Focusing on the UK Web Archive\, I briefly survey the four thousand websites and social media accounts comprising its Covid 19 collection before diving deeper into a handful of case studies. These include a number of personal and collaborative blogs\, a crowdsourced national photography project and a ‘zine produced by Essex teenagers. I will suggest that this digital archive of what we might call the ‘Covid everyday’ was configured by a structure of feeling which took powerful shape during the spring and summer of 2020 and had a democratising impulse and ethic of care at its heart. When reading this archive in the future we must be mindful of the values – of kindness\, resilience and community – that animated its moment of construction.Speaker: Helen McCarthy is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Cambridge and author of three books\, most recently Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood (Bloomsbury\, 2020)\, which was shortlisted for the Wolfson Prize. She is currently co-editing a special journal issue on Britain in the Nineties and developing a new book project on the social and cultural history of retirement in Britain from the 1950s to the present.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime talk 3 with Rob Bath on AI for Information Governance in Microsoft365
DESCRIPTION:The third lunchtime talk on AI for Information Governance in Microsoft365 took place on April 5. Please find the recording below \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: While artificial intelligence has been claimed to be ‘just around the corner’ for several decades now\, over the past few years there have been clear indications that the technology is starting to be used in real-world scenarios. \n\n\n\nWithin the Information Governance community AI is certainly being anticipated as somewhat of a panacea. With most organisations having inadequate processes surrounding the way they store and manage information throughout its lifecycle\, AI is starting to be seen as the solution that will clean up the existing mess and sort out everyone’s ‘digital heaps’. \n\n\n\nMicrosoft\, alongside other tech giants has recently been investing heavily in starting the bring the potential of artificial intelligence into their cloud collaboration platform\, Microsoft 365. We’ve already seen several information management applications being introduced into the platform\, which leverage the AI provided by Microsoft’s Cognitive Services. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Rob Bath outlines the functionality provided by some of the existing AI-driven governance tools that can be found within Microsoft 365. These include: \n\n\n\n• Trainable Classifiers – uses AI to automatically classify content in your tenant that matches the positive examples that you’ve provided. \n\n\n\n• Viva Topics – a knowledge management extension\, which automatically creates a knowledge network out of your existing content. \n\n\n\n• Microsoft Syntex – a quickly maturity suite of tools\, which use AI to automatically identify\, classify and extract metadata from specific types of content. The various models that Syntex provides will be outlined\, including Structured\, Unstructured & Freeform Document Processing. \n\n\n\nDuring this session\, Rob Bath will outline his views on each of these capabilities as they currently exist\, while also exploring the next steps that he sees on the horizon\, especially the application of AI for auto summarisation of content within Microsoft 365.Speaker: Robert Bath Having overseen some of the UK’s most extensive records management architectures in Microsoft 365\, Rob Bath is a leading solution architect and subject matter expert of the platform’s retention capabilities. Currently serving as the IRMS’ Digital Director\, Rob aims to help to bridge the gap between Information Management and IT.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime talk 2 with Mhairi Aitken on Establishing a Social Licence for AI
DESCRIPTION:The second lunchtime talk with Dr Mhairi Aitken on ‘Establishing a Social Licence for AI: Addressing ethical considerations through trustworthy practice’ organised by the AHRC-funded project Unlocking our Digital Past with Artificial Intelligence (LUSTRE) took place on 8 March 2023.Watch the recording of the lunchtime talk below \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: Current attention directed at ethical dimensions of Artificial Intelligence has led to increasing recognition of the need to establish a “Social Licence” for current and future practices. The notion of a “Social Licence” recognises that there can be meaningful differences between what is legally permissible and what is socially acceptable. Establishing a Social Licence entails public engagement to build relationships of trust and ensure that practices align with public values. Such approaches are needed across all areas and industries of data-intensive innovation to complement regulation and inform ethical practice. This is important to underpin culture change and to move beyond rhetorical commitments to develop best practice putting ethics at the heart of innovation. In my talk I will summarise key ethical considerations relating to the design\, development\, deployment and governance of AI and explore the importance of public engagement to establish trustworthy practices needed to underpin responsible innovation. In particular\, I will explore the opportunities and challenges that may encountered in embedding public engagement within design\, development and deployment of AI systems. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr Mhairi Aitken is an Ethics Research Fellow in the Public Policy Programme at The Alan Turing Institute. She is a Sociologist whose research examines social and ethical dimensions of digital innovation particularly relating to uses of data and AI. Mhairi has a particular interest in the role of public engagement in informing ethical data practices. Mhairi’s research draws on her background in Sociology and Science and Technology Studies (STS) to examine social and ethical dimensions of innovation. Her past research has focussed in particular on the role of machine learning in finance; governance of data-intensive health research; ethical considerations around secondary uses of health data and planning and development processes relating to renewable energy projects.

SUMMARY:Workshop 1 - AI and born-digital archives: Challenges and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Through a series of talks and a round table\, this day long workshop delved into the challenges and opportunities that AI offers to the management and use of digital born archives.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop was an hybrid event (in London and online). \n\n\n\nInvited speakers included Professor Stephanie Decker and Dr Adam Nix from the University of Birmingham; Dr Jenny Bunn from The National Archives and University College London; and Dr Tony Russell-Rose from Goldsmiths University.  \n\n\n\nPLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ABSTRACTS\, VIDEOS AND SLIDES. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinding light in dark archives: Using AI to connect context and content in email. \n\n\n\nProfessor Stephanie Decker and Dr Adam Nix (University of Birmingham). \n\n\n\nThe practice of digital archival discovery is still emerging\, and the approaches future research will take when using digital sources remain unclear. Archival practice has been shaped by paper-based\, pre-digital sources and guides assumptions around how researchers will access and make use of such collections. Paradoxically\, dealing with the increasing relevance of born-digital records is not helped by the fact that many born-digital collections remain dark\, in part while questions of how they should be effectively made available are answered. Our research takes a user perspective on discovery within born-digital archives and seeks to promote more meaningful access to born-digital archives for researchers. In doing so\, our work deals with the implications that unfamiliar archival technologies (including artificial intelligence) have on disciplinary traditions in the humanities and social science\, with a specific focus on historical and qualitative approaches. \n\n\n\nOur work in this area currently focuses on the issue of context within organisational email\, and the challenges of searching and interpreting large bodies of email data. We are particularly interested in how effective machine-assisted search and multiple pathways for discovery can be used to open contextually opaque collections. Such access is likely to leverage a collection’s structural and content characteristics\, as well as targeted archival selection and categorisation. We ultimately suggest that by combining relatively open user-led interfaces with pre-selective material\, digital archives can provide environments suited to both the translation of existing research practices and the integration of more novel opportunities for discovery. Our presentation will summarise our progress in this area and reflect on the technical and methodological questions our work here has raised. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload\n\n\n\nPutting principle into practice: Transparency\, recordkeeping and AI. \n\n\n\nDr Jenny Bunn (The National Archives and University College London). \n\n\n\nAt the level of principle it is difficult to argue against the inherent good-ness of ideals such as transparency\, accountability and fairness\, but they have never been easy to put into practice. The increasingly advanced assistance technologies\, generally placed under the label of AI\, can now offer us further complicate this picture; offering as they do new possibilities for us to distance ourselves from both the consequences of our decisions and the very making of them. Recordkeeping has long acted to bridge this distance and this presentation will consider the new forms it may need to take to continue to ensure that accounts are rendered and explanations offered in the enduring spirit of transparency. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSearching\, fast and slow: rethinking the query builder paradigm. \n\n\n\nDr Tony Russell-Rose (Reader in Computer Science\, Goldsmiths University). \n\n\n\nKnowledge workers such as information professionals\, legal researchers and librarians need to create and execute search strategies that are comprehensive\, transparent\, and reproducible. The traditional solution is to use command-line query builders offered by proprietary database vendors. However\, these are based on a paradigm that dates from the days when databases could be accessed only via text-based terminals and command-line syntax. In this talk\, we explore alternative approaches based on a visual paradigm in which users express concepts as objects on an interactive canvas. This offers a more intuitive UX that eliminates error\, makes the query semantics more transparent\, and offers new ways to collaborate and share best practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload\n\n\n\nEthics for AI and Government Records   \n\n\n\nRoundtable with Dr Lise Jaillant\, Dr Adam Nix\, Prof. Stephanie Decker and Dr Jenny Bunn

SUMMARY:Lunchtime talk 1 with Giovanni Colavizza: Towards AI-supported records management
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly necessary in support of records management decisions. The scale\, rapidity and complexity required in modern records management operations all contribute to make AI increasingly relevant to practitioners. This talk will start by reviewing recent contributions at the intersection of records management and AI\, as well as highlight the many challenges still lying ahead of us. Preliminary considerations on the preconditions and requirements of using AI in support of records management will be proposed for discussion. These will be grounded in concrete examples and in an appreciation of the limits and potential of modern-day AI technology. \nPresentation Slides (PDF)\n \nGiovanni Colavizza is Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities at UvA\, visiting researcher at The Alan Turing Institute and at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS)\, Leiden University. \n\nHe did his PhD at the Digital Humanities Laboratory of the EPFL in Lausanne\, working on methods for text mining and citation analysis of scholarly publications\, and is co-founder of Odoma\, a start-up offering customised machine learning techniques in the cultural heritage domain. Giovanni was also a Co-investigator on the Living with Machines project and convenes the AI for Arts interest group at the Turing. \n\nPrior to joining the UvA\, Giovanni has been part of the Research Engineering Group of The Alan Turing Institute\, and a researcher at Leiden University (CWTS)\, the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz\, and the University of Oxford.
