[In-Person] Can Digital Preservation Help Us Spot AI-Generated Content? In-Person
Event type: In-person
Event description: Can digital preservation reveal whether a file was created by AI? Join us to uncover the clues hidden in metadata, provenance, and digital footprints.
For World Digital Preservation Day 2026, let’s answer the burning question: can digital preservation techniques help us determine whether digital content was created by AI? This session explores how file characteristics, embedded metadata, fixity information, and provenance can provide clues about how digital content was created and changed. Through practical examples, participants will learn what this evidence can tell us, where its limitations lie, and why understanding the history of a digital file is increasingly important in an era of synthetic content.
