Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how audiovisual materials are created, reused, and interpreted. For archives, libraries, and cultural heritage organizations, these changes raise urgent questions about authenticity, rights, access, and the responsible use of archival materials.
This set of tools, developed by the Working Groups of the Trust in Archives Initiative, is designed to help archives navigate this evolving landscape. The toolkit provides practical guidance on issues including authentication and provenance, licensing considerations, working with technology companies, and the development of shared taxonomies to describe AI-generated or AI-altered materials.
Because both AI technologies and archival practices continue to evolve, these tools are intended as a living resource. They will be updated and expanded over time, and feedback from the community is welcomed to help inform future revisions and the development of additional tools.
