Yesterday I gave a talk on AI and archives at the Colby/Bates/Bowdoin Special Collections and Archives Staff Retreat. Thanks to the staff of the George J. Mitchell Department of Archives and Special Collections and the Bowdoin Library, the amazing Schiller Center for Coastal Studies, where the event was held, and Bowdoin’s Hastings Initiative for AI and Humanity, which helped support the event. I’ve rarely encountered a more complete combination of scholarly engagement and hospitality. The following is a lightly edited but faithful transcript of my remarks. The reference list and reading list I provided to attendees is included at the end of the post.
