Hello everyone,
Our April community call is
today - 16:00 UTC (9 AM California | 12 PM Washington DC | 16:00 UK | 17:00 Paris | 03:00 (+1) Sydney,
please note the time shift for colleagues outside of the USA).
Mia Ridge (British Library), Samantha Blickhan (Zooniverse), and Meghan Ferriter (US General Services Administration) will discuss the lessons from crowdsourcing that apply to ML / AI - from the work needed before, during and after to ensure data can be used; supporting people involved in these processes based on what has been learned in projects that blend crowdsourcing + ML; to what is done when you get the data; and the need to interrogate ongoing methods in light of emerging technologies and your organisation's values.
They’ll conclude by connecting these themes to the recommendations of the
2023 Collective Wisdom Project White Paper. They’ll also invite you to share or complete a survey about ingesting / integrating data enriched by crowdsourcing and/or AI/machine learning into digital collections platforms. A blog post has further information and a preview of all the survey questions:

Please feel free to share this announcement with interested colleagues and lists, and we look forward to seeing you next week.
Best,
Pedro Gonzalez-Fernandez
On behalf of the AI4LAM Secretariat
