Dear all,
Are you curious about AI, or do you want to connect with a community of folk using and researching AI in libraries, archives, and museums?
The AI4LAM *Online Community Call* on *January 16* might be just what you need https://docs.google.com/document/d/10D5t9GlWt-Pnp9kk_vYGfyc0n46YdtmofAnDLBZDSc8/edit at 16 UTC (find your local time here https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1705420800, zoom link in GoogleDoc https://docs.google.com/document/d/10D5t9GlWt-Pnp9kk_vYGfyc0n46YdtmofAnDLBZDSc8/edit#heading=h.4g22ry3gwl0n )
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 just want a chance to discuss with other interested people, please come 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
