AI could facilitate more dynamic

I foresee AI-driven tools playing an increasingly pivotal role in many facets of my work. For instance, natural language processing could automate the categorization and summarization of large text-based datasets, making archival research more efficient and our analyses richer. AI can also be used to identify entities in large archival datasets. Archives hold a treasure trove of artifacts waiting to be described and discovered. AI offers tools that will supercharge our construction of finding aids and item-level metadata.
Lastly, and interactive data visualizations, like the ones I published on GitHub Pages. These will offer users a more engaging experience when interacting with our research findings. Overall, the phone number library potential of AI is vast, and I’m excited to integrate more AI-driven tools into JMU’s classrooms and research ecosystem.
Thomas: Thanks for taking the time Kevin. To close out, whose work would you like people to know more about?
Kevin: Engaging in Digital Humanities (DH) within the academic library setting is a distinct privilege, one that requires a collaborative ethos. I am fortunate to be a member of an exceptional team at JMU Libraries, a collective too expansive to fully acknowledge here. AI has introduced transformative tools that border on magic. However, loosely paraphrasing Immanuel Kant, it’s crucial to remember that technology devoid of content is empty. I will use this opportunity to spotlight the contributions of three JMU faculty whose work celebrates our local community and furthers social justice.
