| Summary | This website introduces a series of AI projects in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF, Natinoal Library of France) that use AI to support the library’s missions of collecting, preserving, cataloging, and disseminating collections. Specifically, six key projects and experiments are highlighted: Image mining in Gallica, Hand-written text recognition (HTR) to be integrated into Gallica, Cataloging, Personalized content recommendation with an ethical perspective, Identifying autonomous documents in web archives, and Monitoring tools for the preservation and management of collections. Recognizing the necessity of a consistent, unifying, and accountable AI policy, on this website, the BnF published an AI Roadmap in PDF format, presenting five actions designed for 2021 to 2026. The actions focus on proactively investigating AI applications in libraries, adapting to AI applications (e.g., infrastructure and data management), and engaging stakeholders. |
