)
It will be an *onboarding session open to newcomers*, people in GLAMs who
are just engaging in AI projects, or those who would like to do so. If you
have AI-related questions you never dared to ask, if you need a hint to
start your own AI experimentation, or if you want a chance to discuss with
other interested people, please join us!
Emmanuelle Bermès (École nationale des chartes - PSL) will lead us through
the session, which will include an introduction to AI and why it matters to
libraries, archives and museums (AI4LAM 101), followed by a clinic with
breakout spaces for questions and discussions.
