Participate in the "AI for Access" Survey – Help Shape the Future of AI in Archives
Dear Special Interest Group for Computing, Information, and Society, AI for Access is a new project funded by the Society of American Archivists Foundation (SAAF) sponsored by the CLIR/DLF Born-Digital Access Working Group (BDAWG) <https://www.diglib.org/groups/bdawg/>. Our research team is investigating how the archival community is using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) tools to enhance and facilitate access to digital archival materials. As AI technologies evolve and digital collections grow exponentially, understanding their impact and potential in archival settings is more crucial than ever. We invite you to participate in our survey, which aims to gather insights on current and planned AI/ML use in archives, as well as perceptions of these tools. Your input will help shape recommendations for the archival community, contribute to AI-related advocacy efforts, and inform work with the Society of American Archivists (SAA) to refine key AI/ML terminology. We are seeking input from all viewpoints including those who do not currently or are not planning to use AI tools to get a sense of the current state of adoption as well as those excited by the new technology. Survey Link: https://berkeley.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6DKVbuk6lFO12tw Estimated Time to Complete: 20-30 minutes Deadline: April 14, 2025 Your participation is invaluable in helping to demystify AI in archives and advocate for ethics and other considerations around its adoption. Please feel free to forward this survey to colleagues who may also be interested. In an effort to limit bot responses, we ask you to not post this survey link to social media at this time. Thank you for your time and contribution! Sincerely, Jen Wachtel Litwin, CA "AI is for Access" Catalyst Grant (SAA) project of the Digital Library Federation Born-Digital Access Working Group
