A new report is now available that explores how artificial intelligence can help address the major challenge of the rapidly growing volume of born-digital government records (emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, audiovisual files, and social media records). "Sifting the Digital Heap: A scoping study of AI for government archives – access, backlogs, and responsible practice” draws on workshops organized in collaboration with the UK Cabinet Office and 27 interviews with stakeholders across the United Kingdom and the United States; the study examines how AI can support the accessibility and management of digital government records.
