This workshop focuses on the responsibilities of web archivists and considers how the proliferation of generative artificial intelligence may impact creators, archivists, and users alike. The session will not teach participants how to use or implement AI. Through various case studies and opportunities for small group discussion, participants will develop a plan to address the implications of AI in their web archival practices and policies.
