Workshop with a talk by Nathalie Casemajor, professor at the Centre for Urbanisation, Culture and Society of INRS (National Institute for Scientific Research, Montreal) and fellow for one-month in writing residency in June at the Paris IAS, organised by the BnF and the INRS Montreal with the support of the cluster PostGenAI@Paris, led by Sorbonne Université and in partnership with the Paris IAS.
Presentation
What could the agent-driven web mean for digital commons and GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums)? The agent-driven web refers to an emerging environment in which AI agents navigate the web autonomously and interact with online services to perform tasks, collect and synthesise information, and so on.
This workshop examines the implications of this transformation for digital commons and heritage institutions. What infrastructure, interfaces and regulatory frameworks will be needed to cope with the anticipated increase in traffic generated by these agents? How can free knowledge projects and heritage institutions help shape the standards that will underpin these new forms of interaction? What synergies can be developed between public institutions and digital commons to address these shared challenges? Focusing on two emblematic cases, Wikipedia and the Bibliothèque nationale de France, this workshop brings together students and experts in computer science, law, digital humanities and communication to imagine possible scenarios for the future and identify avenues for collective action.
