This panel will present a human-centered approach to AI-assisted cataloging. Panelists from GBH Archives, working on the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, will describe the development, implementation, testing, and use of AI-based media analysis tools within workflows for item-level cataloging digital videos. Panelists include cataloging, digital ingest, and metadata operations staff who have been involved in the creation and use of AI-based cataloging tools. We will discuss the CLAMS (Computational Linguistics Applications for Multimedia Services) suite of open source AI tools, post-processing CLAMS output for use in cataloging, questions we sought to answer regarding cataloging ease and efficiency, and the results of our experiments with tool integration. We will explain how our approach and roadmap differs from initiatives seeking to make cataloging fully automatic.
