Register: ACMI & SLQ Collaborating on AI, Wed 2nd April, 10:00am AEDT

[Ingrid Mason]

The AU & ANZ regional chapter for AI4LAM is kicking off 2025 webinars.     

Register: ACMI & SLQ Collaborating on AI, Wed 2nd April, 10:00am AEDT

In 2024 ACMI & the State Library of Queensland (SLQ) agreed to collaborate on testing out different AI technologies (machine learning).  This is a short presentation by Jeff Williams (Head of Technology, ACMI) and Margaret Warren (Director of Content Management, SLQ) on how, why and what happened (and the power of collaboration).   

Key questions in collaboration as a feature of institutional partnerships are: the problems and opportunities, the benefits, the possible strategic responses and solutions.  

Join in and find out what a major challenge is for the GLAM sector and why ACMI & SLQ saw collaboration as the key to a mutually beneficial partnership.  In essence, bringing the know-how and the way to explore AI technologies (ACMI) together with the desire to explore AI technologies with collections (SLQ) and share the results.

The webinar will be hosted by Francesco Ramigni (Cloud Services and Software Development Manager) from ACMI with support from the chapter co-convenors: Ingrid Mason (NFSA) and Rowan Payne (NLNZ).

🧑‍🏫Register: ACMI AI Ambassadors Program, Wed 30th April, 10:00am AEST

Jeff Williams (ACMI) spoke at the Fantastic Futures 2024 conference about the AI Ambassadors awareness program ACMI instituted in the context of their institutional remit to collect and exhibit moving image media.  The role of an ambassador is educational; to support greater understanding of how AI works through regular discussion and hands-on experimentation from a wide range of people.  In 2025 the program was reworked and staff facilitating awareness raising are now termed “investigators” rather than ambassadors.  The change in name highlights a keen emphasis on the importance of engagement and discovery in building understanding of AI aligned with their four principles: educate, experiment, debate, deliberate.  Jeff will speak in more detail about the program, continuous learning, and ACMI’s interest in enabling other organisations to learn from their experience.
