Invitation: Roundtable on Archives and AI

[Lucas Pretti]

Dear Open Data Day community,

Are any of you working on initiatives involving archives / memory / heritage and AI?

At OKFN, we are organising another roundtable as part of the AI Learning Labs project, this time focusing on the challenges of digitising physical documentation centres in the context of AI. This Lab is done in partnership with AVANCSO Guatemala.

I wanted to invite you specifically because it’s an opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges and learn together.

Here is the practical information:

• How to digitise a physical archive to work strategically with AI? - Online Roundtable
• Monday, 8 June 2026
• 15:00 – 16:30 UTC
• Registration link: https://okfn.org/ai-archives/ 

I am also sharing some other materials for context:

• Documentation from the past roundtable on climate data and AI
• What are the AI Learning Labs?
• Launch interview with Renata Avila and Solana Larsen

We look forward to seeing you next week!

Warm wishes,

--
