Abstract:

The impact of AI/ML technologies has had a huge impact on our society, and the GLAM sector, and will shape our future for years to come. Traditional archives and records practice and capabilities have never been more relevant, particularly in ontology and graph database modelling for AgenticAI, LLMs for GenAI, and Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). I currently represent Australia/NZ on the ISO Working Group developing the ISO standard for AI and Archives & Records Management. Setting standards provide a safe space for the GLAM sector to experiment, innovate and iterate our adoption of these tools. Having a considered and defensible approach, underpinned by standards, will have an enduring impact both in how we grow our GLAM practice but also on how we maintain the outputs of these technologies for future generations.
