This panel brings together experts to discuss the practical use of AI in web and social media archives from leveraging machine learning for the curation, preservation, and discovery of massive, ephemeral datasets, to GenAI for supporting users to navigating the archives. We make a distinction in this discussion as to not focus solely on efficiency and the tools used but also the archival conversation around stewardship and ethics. As with these great affordances come the challenges of ensuring data privacy, managing biases, and establishing transparency and provenance for AI-generated (meta)data. As AI becomes integral to archival practice, how do we balance innovation with accountability?
