Of possible interest: Conservation-related AI projects

    Preservation Colleagues--
    At the AI4LAM (Artificial Intelligence for Libraries, Archives, and Museums) Community Call today, there were two projects of possible interest to curators, conservators, and collections care folks:
      --A French project to predict archival materials in a collection that may be in need of care based on past treatment records as training data
      --A Danish project to alert staff to possible environmental problems in a space based on past environmental data for that space

    (One takeaway:  If you've ever wondered "Why am I keeping all this old data?" -- you might get some inspiration there.)

    The Google Doc notes for the meeting are at:

    There are links to the presenters' slides and the video should be linked in that document as well within a few days.

    Peace,
    --DBL
