Between February and April 2023, the Europeana Research Community’s discussion list saw an unusual flow of messages. Unsurprisingly, they were about the hot topic of the moment: ChatGPT, other AI-powered bots and search engines.
This lively debate resulted in a clear call to action for Europeana: organising an online event where the community could gather and exchange views on the topic. The community is aware that no event can address all the possible aspects relating to the use of AI tools even when limiting the focus to cultural heritage as a source for their application. Three invited experts will shed light on clear or emerging expectations towards these tools in the cultural heritage sector – one will focus on libraries, one on museums, and one on archives. The speakers will then open the floor to the audience. The aim is to solicit a response on the potential and limits of these tools especially from experts in digital humanities.
