Taxonomies for AI-Generated and Altered Media

Focusing on the Taxonomy tools, developed to support shared language and consistent description of AI-generated and AI-altered content.As GenAI technologies increasingly shape how media is created, modified, and reused, archives face a range of questions related to authenticity, provenance, intellectual property, and ethical use. Developed by practitioners from across the field in TAI’s interdisciplinary Working Groups, and refined through a community review process, these tools provide practical guidance to support the stewardship of archival materials in this evolving context.Led by members of the working group who developed the tool, this session focuses on the Taxonomy tools, developed to support shared language and consistent description of AI-generated and AI-altered content. The webinar will include a presentation of the tools, their development, and how they can be applied in practice. Discussion will address challenges in implementation and the need for adaptable vocabularies, followed by an opportunity for participants to share experiences and compare approaches across different contexts.This series is made possible through the support of the National Film Preservation Board.
