Dear GLAM community, 

I'm reaching out requesting your help in participating in a survey on GenAI and its impact on cultural heritage, education and research. Please see below all the details.

Would appreciate you taking a few minutes to fill it out, as well as sharing the link with your colleagues in cultural heritage institutions around the world.  

Thanks in advance for all your help, 

Shani.

Dear Colleagues and friends, 

We are Jane Winters, Professor of Digital Humanities at the University of London, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Visiting Fellow at the Digital Humanities Research Hub (DHRH) at the University of London. We are interested in better understanding the implications of Generative AI on knowledge consumption and knowledge production processes and we are reaching out to invite you to participate in a survey on ‘Attitudes towards Generative AI in Research, Cultural Heritage, and Education’.

The aim of this research is to gain insight into understandings and uses of AI in professional practice, and specifically in research, higher education and the cultural heritage sector, and to explore attitudes to these developing technologies. This will inform further research into issues of trust and the value of structured data and human expertise when designing and implementing Generative AI tools. 

As a researcher / practitioner in one or more of these fields, your insights will be invaluable in understanding the current landscape and future potential of generative AI applications. The survey should take between 10-15 minutes (depending on how much you would like to share), and your responses will remain confidential.

Here is a shareable link to the survey: https://forms.office.com/e/MjvHAUBTAG. 

We would also be grateful if you could also share the link to the survey with relevant colleagues, fellow educators, and professionals in the cultural heritage sector. By participating and spreading the word, you are directly contributing to the growth of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field. The results of this survey will be shared openly in order to contribute to an evidence base for the development of future policy and practice. 

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this survey.

Best wishes,
