Some good stuff in Amardeep Singh's 'Humanities AI in 2025: Brief Reflections After a Conference'

'The Swedish National Archives makes one million handwritten documents searchable' https://riksarkivet.se/inlagg/riksarkivet-gor-en-miljon-handskrivna-dokument-sokbara - the Universal Viewer plus AI text transcription!
Congratulations to everyone at the Riksarkivet who worked so hard on this! #AI4LAM #UniversalViewer

'Our use of technology must enhance that credibility, not undermine it.'
'We will listen closely and proceed cautiously.'
