The description and curation of metadata is one of the core elements of information work, and essential to the operation and sharing of our distinctive archival materials. How might advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning—including the ability for algorithms to read primary source materials and generate/assign appropriate metadata—change the work of librarians and archivists? What impacts might this evolution have on how we train and prepare archivists, and how we focus archivists' time and expertise?
