#FF2024
This and #FF2024 in general make me think we need updated studies on information seeking in different types of GLAM collections. And that all modern searches need a 'semantic search off' toggle to enable exact matches again
What a delight it was to present at the #ff2024 #ff24 Fantastic Futures #conference last week, held at the #NFSA, celebrating all things #AI and #ML in the #GLAM sector.
See what the #ANU School of #Cybernetics got up to at the conference:
A great example of learning on the job from Asa - 'Making cursive comfortable: Transcribing 19th Century archives using AI models' https://prov.vic.gov.au/about-us/our-blog/making-cursive-comfortable as presented at #FF2024 #AI4LAM
As if prompted by #FF2024, RNZ ran this article featuring Peter Lucas-Jones and the great 92% accuracy Te Reo Māori text-to-speech work at Te Hiku Media.
"It is important to recognise that big tech is not going to save te reo Māori."

Weird light, but I think my kitten might just be starting to forgive me for going to Canberra

#FF2024 ended with a literal bang in the form of Triptych, EDM+AV Mechanical Synaesthesia, by Robin Fox. It was loud, intense, immersive, and what could only be described as an unforgettable "trip" 🔥🔥🤩💫💥. Nothing I've ever experienced before. A reimagining. In many ways, that was one of the main threads at #FF2024 - deliberate and cautious approach, ask questions, be more conscientious, do #SlowAI if possible. Certainly a reimagining of how AI projects have been done post-Kraken 🐙 👹🧌.
Just like @mia, this talk by Barbara Shubinski, Rockerfeller Archive Center, drew me in, and I couldn't summarise. It would be great as a full talk. Maybe at #FF2025

1. Engage AI champion
2. Leverage existing content - LinkedIn learning. Lots of free resources.
3. Create accessible resources
