Session Abstract
Much is discussed nowadays about the use of AI to transform most sectors and scientific domains. In particular, the application of specialized AI tools to historical archives has vast potential for their exploration, analysis, and innovative use. But what does it mean for an archive to be AI-ready? How do we apply the values of open science, including transparency and reusability, when preparing archives for new AI model systems? This talk will introduce concepts, best practices, and standards related to AI readiness, enabling us to prepare the world´s archives for interoperability, facilitate access to their data, and develop and share AI model systems and workflows to advance what we can learn from them.
