Dear all,

We hope this email finds you well. This is a friendly reminder regarding
abstracts for the special issue “When data turns into archives: making digital
records more accessible with AI” which will be published in AI & Society.

The overall aim of this special issue is to explore how AI can help improve the
preservation, access and usability of digital and born-digital archives. It
focuses on the perspective and the challenges that AI can offer in unlocking
archival data in various sectors (including government).

Bringing together digital humanists and social scientists, AI experts,
professionals in Information Management, archivists, librarians, and museum
professionals, this special issue welcomes contributions that explore themes
including, but not limited to:

_AI applied to archival data created by government, cultural heritage
organizations or other institutions;
_“Digital Heap” and the issue of disorganized data;
_Making archival data more accessible for public good;
_Risks associated with AI applied to born-digital records;
_Mitigating these risks: AI and ethics /Designing responsible AI systems;
_Research methods (including AI approaches) to use archival data;
_Qualitative approaches, for example to survey professional attitudes towards AI
and archives.
