As artificial intelligence reshapes society, archives find themselves at the crossroads of innovation and responsibility. AI offers remarkable opportunities to enhance accessibility, discover hidden narratives, and broaden public engagement with historical materials. However, it also raises critical challenges, including the implications of AI-generated content on historical integrity and the critical responsibility of archivists in ensuring authenticity and maintaining public trust in a digital-first world.

Closing Keynote: DAM in GLAM: A Vision for the Future
Chris Lacinak, AVP

Join us for this keynote presentation by Chris Lacinak, placing a spotlight on AMIA’s 2025 Digital Asset Symposium, where he’ll explore the critical intersection of Digital Asset Management (DAM) within Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM). Chris brings a perspective based on his extensive experience working at the intersection of archives and DAM, serving in his roles as:  Founder and CEO of AVP;  Consultant;  NYU MIAP Adjunct Professor; AMIA Board Member; DAS Conference Chair; Contributor to standards and best practices; Creator of the “DAM Right” podcast. This diversity has positioned him as both an insider and outsider, a practitioner and an entrepreneur, straddling the realms of archives, DAM, cultural heritage, and corporations. This vantage point has afforded him unique insights into the evolving relationship between archival and DAM practices, operations, and technologies. In this thought-provoking presentation, Chris will share what he has learned along the way and offer a vision for what lies ahead, consisting of both high level forecasts and pragmatic guidance.
