Archives & Technology - Empowering the cultural heritage community through Responsible AI training

Speaker: Dr Anna-Maria Sichani, BRAID Research Fellow, Research Associate in Digital Humanities, School of Advanced Study, University of London.

AI is everywhere in cultural heritage today - from daily professional practices to policy discussions - and it is often met with a mix of excitement and concern. But how ready is the cultural heritage community to embark on this journey? In her BRAID fellowship, in partnership with The National Archives, Dr Anna-Maria Sichani explored the sector’s training needs for responsible AI adoption and developed a comprehensive digital skills training provision to empower informed, responsible, and ethical use of AI across the community. In this seminar, Anna-Maria will present her fellowship work, share insights from the outputs and TNA partnership, and open a discussion on how the cultural heritage sector can build capacity for responsible AI.
