Project

In this project, I will work together with the members of a research group of the InterPARES project study “Model for an AI-Assisted Digitization Project” (RA03). We will finalize a visual model for describing the functions and activities of a digitization project, based on best practices and standards, with particular attention to potential interventions of AI in digitization processes. We will also refine the literature review on related topics and analyze the results of a survey on AI and digitization, which we intend to publish and circulate in February 2023.
