'Session 13a- Thinking Machines: Smart applications and recordkeeping innovation' by Prof. Charles Jeurgens (ASA 2018, Perth. Australia)
In this session, Prof. Charles Jeurgens, explores the implications of smart expert systems that take over parts of the thinking process. He discusses the recordkeeping implications of this changing relationship between man and machine. Using algorithmic data processing technology, Jeurgens raises new questions about how to keep the evidential value of records alive and relevant. Accurate recordkeeping is commonly regarded as an important prerequisite for organizations to be able to give account of their activities, decision-making processes and communication. But what does this mean and how does this work when the relationship between man and machine fundamentally changes and algorithmic processing of data is a black box? What are the dilemmas to be solved? Which strategies can be developed? Jeurgens illustrates this with some recent Dutch cases in which archival scholars, legal specialists and artificial intelligence scientists cooperate to formulate new archival principles.
