The BSB enriches the AI4LAM family with its vast, high-quality data collection, its decades of expertise in the field of digitization, and its innovative development of digital collections.

We are delighted to announce that the Share Family Initiative has joined AI4LAM as a Founding Member. As an international Linked Open Data ecosystem that connects libraries, archives, museums, and consortia worldwide, Share Family brings extensive expertise in collaborative metadata management, knowledge graphs, bibliographic services, and semantic technologies.

AI4LAM Secretary General, Ines Vodopivec, recently took part in a high-level panel discussion on the future of AI-driven development and its implications for national infrastructure ecosystems, society, and research. 

The AI4LAM community develops key areas of AI practice to support the digital transformation of the GLAM sector. Different pillars of AI are explored and advanced through dedicated Working Groups – collaborative teams where practitioners from different institutions come together to explore specific AI‑related topics, share knowledge, and develop practical outputs.
