AI to review government records: new work to unlock historically significant digital records – AI & Society

‘Government professionals need to work closely with archival institutions to make sure that important born-digital records are identified and preserved in the short term, before being transferred for long-term archiving and access. Knowledge and information (KIM) professionals in government and archivists face similar challenges. In the UK, government records (in digital and paper form) must by law be transferred to archival institutions after 20 years. In the USA, the National Archives and Records Administration issued a memorandum in December 2022, stating that “after June 30, 2024, NARA will no longer accept transfers of permanent or temporary records in analog formats and will accept records only in an electronic format with appropriate metadata.”’
