Are you interested in Generative AI for Cultural Heritage (CH)? Are you concerned about potential harms of incorporating Generative AI within your sector? Join the PHAWM project in an upcoming ONLINE workshop on auditing Gen-AI for CH.

In this workshop, participants are invited to think about information required to audit harms, scenarios of how harm auditing would happen in their organisational context and propose how this information might be organised to facilitate auditing generative AI use in a Cultural Heritage context. Participants will generalise to one or two prioritised harms associated with metadata generation. They will incorporate this into the context of auditing scenarios aligning with Cultural Heritage workflows, finally leading to proposed layouts and designs. 

As previously announced, the iPRES Steering Group (STG) is inviting bids from prospective conference hosts to organize iPRES for the years 2027–2029, with additional options for 2030 and 2031.

The Steering Group is hosting two Q&A sessions for organizations interested in hosting an iPRES conference during 2027–2031. The Co-Chairs of the Future Hosts Working Group, a subgroup of the iPRES STG, will be available at these online sessions to answer questions and provide insights into the hosting process.

The iPRES 2025 organising committee is excited to announce a series of ‘Call to Community’ online workshops, and to invite expressions of interest to join their committees. iPRES 2025 will take place in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) Aotearoa (New Zealand) from 3-7 November 2025.

The Digital Preservation Coalition is looking for volunteers who are willing and able to share their digital preservation workflows in a 20-minute online demonstration or presentation as part of our 'Workflow Webinars' series, which is planned to take place in early February 2025.
