Conducting an inside-out approach ensuring the organization's self-assessment aligns with engagement with AI tech companies.
As GenAI technologies increasingly shape how media is created, modified, and reused, archives face a range of questions related to authenticity, provenance, intellectual property, and ethical use. Developed by practitioners from across the field in TAI’s interdisciplinary Working Groups, and refined through a community review process, these tools provide practical guidance to support the stewardship of archival materials in this evolving context.
Led by members of the working group who developed the tool, this session explores an inside‑out approach to archival practice, focusing on how organizational self‑assessment can inform and strengthen engagement with AI technology companies. It will introduce the Engaging with AI Tech Companies toolkit, designed to support archives in navigating relationships with AI developers and platforms.
The webinar will present the overall guidance framework, walk through its key components, and demonstrate how the tool can be applied in practice. Discussion will address potential risks and opportunities, as well as strategies for responsible collaboration in a rapidly evolving landscape. Participants will also be invited to share their own experiences of engaging with technology companies and to compare approaches across different organizational and national contexts.
The presentation portion of the webinar will be recorded; however, the Q&A and discussion will not be recorded in order to allow space for more open and candid conversation.
