The authors seemed to suggest AI could be used in digital preservation as part of the migration and also fixity processes, if I understood correctly. Given the tendency to hallucinate, these seems very risky. Thoughts? Corrections? #digipres #icabarcelona2025

Starting this morning at #icabarcelona2025 at a session on digital preservation. Learning about ODF/A, a format developed in China to meet Chinese standards. It’s similar to PDF/A. I’m embarrassed to admit I hadn’t heard of it before. #digipres

When searching for it, the AI overview seems to know more about the Open Fixed-layout Document (OFD) format than the search results! I'm guessing this is because the AI version is essentially translating Chinese sources that the search isn't showing me? #digipres

I was at an NDSA working group meeting today and actually said, “that’s what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket,” about the AWS outage. In my former workplace I used two dedicated NAS servers in different geographical locations instead of the cloud to store files. #digipres #archives

This is why archives need funding support. There is knowledge in analogue media that we are racing against time to preserve.
