AI for ALM? Challenges and Opportunities

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expanding beyond the realm of computer science, significantly impacting various industries and facets of society. AI and Machine Learning are revolutionizing the fields of computer science and engineering, making professionals in these areas highly sought after. The future of AI is dynamic, already profoundly influencing education, professions, and society. However, there is a growing awareness of the dangers of overrelying on AI for every challenge. In this context, I advocate for embracing AI with a societal and humanistic sensibility. My focus is on the Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ALM) sector.
