Description
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the scientific and GLAM sectors requires a globally collaborative and inclusive approach that centres on their unique needs. To fully unlock the potential of AI in these environments, there is a growing demand for tailored tools and services that support the access, management, and (re)use of digitized and digitally born content. Moreover, GLAM institutions play a crucial role in AI model development by providing valuable data for training, testing and research.
Central to this transformation is the establishment of secure, trustworthy, and scalable AI infrastructures, supported by long-term investment in sustainable cross-domain systems. This includes comprehensive strategies for education and capacity building, the preservation of data and models, and effective storage and processing solutions. Equally important is the cultivation of a culture grounded in collaboration, innovation, and open knowledge exchange to ensure that AI technologies are adopted in ways that are both ethical and impactful. To responsibly and effectively implement AI across the cultural and scientific landscape, we must advocate for policies, frameworks, and partnerships that promote transparency, inclusivity, and reliability—laying the groundwork for an AI-powered future that serves the public good.
