Trusted Knowledge in the Age of AI:
The Evolving Role of GLAM Institutions
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights the need for well-informed communities in the face of rapid technological change. This conference explores the evolving role of GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) institutions in ensuring trusted knowledge, combating misinformation, and supporting lifelong learning in the AI era.
The conference aimed to provide a venue for sharing knowledge, discussing innovations, and networking among professionals and stakeholders in the knowledge library, archive, and information services.
Participants gain deeper insights into the impact of artificial intelligence, automation, and emerging technologies on GLAM institutions and public knowledge services.
Stronger regional and international networks are established among researchers, librarians, archivists, policy makers, academicians, and knowledge workers, fostering future collaborations and initiatives.
Participants are exposed to innovative tools, methodologies, and best practices in digital records management, archives, data governance, digital preservation, and ethical information handling.
Greater understanding of provenance, authenticity, misinformation, cybersecurity, and ethical challenges in managing digital knowledge and public information.
Enhanced competencies and preparedness among GLAM professionals to adapt to AI-driven environments, including re-skilling, up-skilling, and lifelong learning strategies.
Valuable inputs and recommendations to support evidence-based policymaking related to access to information, intellectual property, data protection, freedom of information, and digital inclusion.
Increased emphasis on digital inclusion, equitable access to knowledge, and the role of GLAM institutions in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030.
