Archive services are receiving an increased amount of enquiries and requests that have been generated using AI. In response to this we have put together a statement. We are grateful to other archive services that have already created guidance, we have used this to shape our statement.
We understand that developing technologies like AI can help users to identify archives holding historic records, and to navigate potential obstacles in gaining access to records. However, AI tools and agents sometimes invent records or references that don’t exist, or misinterpret catalogue information and provide a misleading idea of what survives in the archives.

If you’re looking for documents, please check our catalogue first, or email us at barts.archives@nhs.net.

AI-generated requests can be extremely long, and that makes it hard for staff to identify what’s needed. If you’re using AI to draft an email to us, please double-check that the message contains a clear question or request that reflects what you’re looking for, and we’ll do our best to help.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

or listen to one, because that is still reading same with graphic novels—just a visual journey into a literary realm you have the freedom to read what you choose

This is state-mandated book banning being perpetuated here. It is the Dan Patrick level "we're going to downgrade your school" banning from Texas, but in Florida. Thousands of books will be removed, and you'll probably never know about it.

Here's an alternative (trust me on this, I've actually done it). If a journal reaches out for a review of a paper that looks really interesting, but you don't have the capacity to do it. Just say "this looks really interesting and I'd like to help, but I just don't have the capacity right now"
