Presentation

This project investigates how the reconfiguration of the Web in the context of generative AI technologies impacts the governance of data commons. It focuses on GLAM institutions (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) and actors from the free knowledge movement (notably Wikimedia), which act as stewards of public knowledge and open cultural data. The project explores how they negotiate their roles, build alliances, and reshape their practices to sustain the commons they maintain.
