EXPLORE HOW GLAM INSTITUTIONS ARE NAVIGATING NEW LEADERSHIP STYLES AND
ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORKS TO HELP MEET THE CHALLENGES POSED BY A
DIGITAL SOCIETY.
During this time of digital transformation, galleries, libraries,
archives, and museums (GLAMs) are facing a generational challenge that
calls on them to rethink their roles and responsibilities, re-evaluate
policies and practices, and re-envision creative management and use of
their collections. While AI is not new for GLAMs, the rapid
development of generative AI has accelerated the pace of change along
with a host of risks and benefits. For cultural heritage institutions,
the stakes for implementing emerging AI technologies are high as GLAMs
navigate questions relating to cultural relevance, limited resources
and expanding backlogs of digital collections. GLAMs must also contend
with the major intellectual and social implications for supporting
entirely new approaches to learning, scholarship and public
engagement. As GLAMs strive to keep pace, this book turns to explore
how cultural heritage institutions can draw on a model of digital
leadership to help them meet the challenges posed by the ethical
implementation and use of generative AI in the stewardship of
distinctive collections. Although digital leadership has been widely
written about in the fields of business management, communication and
marketing and information technology, it has not yet been addressed in
a book format for the GLAM sector. In addition to discussing the basic
definition and concepts of digital leadership, this book explores
digital leadership as a critical framework for GLAMs to advance
digital stewardship programs, professional development and staff
training initiatives, and institutional advocacy in the age of AI.
