SUMMARY:Curators in the loop: human-centred AI for the digital curation of cultural heritage collections
DESCRIPTION:The workshop ‘CAIR 2027 – Curators in the loop: human-centred AI for the digital curation of cultural heritage collections’ will take place on February 9\, 2027\, from 13:00 to 16:00\, at Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon\, as part of the 21st International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC27) promoted by the Digital Curation Centre.\n\nDigital curation of cultural heritage collections is increasingly mediated by artificial intelligence: metadata is generated by models\, texts transcribed by handwriting recognition\, entities linked automatically\, descriptions drafted by large language models. Each step reshapes the curator’s role; often silently\, and rarely by design.\n\nThe prevailing framing of “human-in-the-loop” collapses to the curator as reviewer of model output\, understating the interpretive labour\, disciplinary craft\, and community accountability that curation practice carries. Responding to the IDCC27 theme\, “FAIR DO’s: Centring People in the Stewardship and Curation of Digital Objects\,” this workshop convenes work that pushes past oversight toward a richer account of curator-AI collaboration\, as a design problem\, an empirical research problem\, and a governance problem.\n\nWe invite contributions across four areas: \n\ndesign frameworks and interaction patterns for curator-facing AI systems;\nempirical studies of curator experience with AI-augmented workflows;\nmethodological and critical reflections on curator agency\, expertise\, and craft;\ncommunity\, participatory\, and governance approaches to AI in cultural heritage. Contributions from early-career researchers\, practitioners\, and community-based scholars are explicitly encouraged.\n\nObjectives: \nTo bring together researchers and practitioners across AI\, HCI\, digital humanities\, and cultural heritage; consolidate an initial map of design patterns\, evaluation methods\, and open questions for curator-centred AI; and seed a community of practice with a shared post-workshop report and future position paper (e.g.\, for the International Council on Archives).\n\nImportant dates \n\nSubmission deadline: 11 December 2026\nNotification to authors: 15 January 2027\nCamera-ready due: 22 January 2027\nWorkshop:9 February 2027\n\n\nThis workshop is organised by the DAViD Lab\, Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon.Photo by Jayson Hinrichsen on Unsplah. \nEVENT WEBSITEregistration EVENT WEBSITEregistration
