AI4LAM Fantastic Futures 2026: Trust in the Loop
Fantastic Futures is an international conference series organized by AI4LAM as one of the most important global events at the intersection of AI and cultural heritage, shaping how memory institutions adapt to rapidly evolving technologies while maintaining public trust. Trust is a cornerstone of libraries, archives, and museums. Trust in the Loop extends the idea of “human in the loop” to focus on the work LAMs must do to ensure that AI-enabled services are built on trust, authenticity, and accountability.
The AI4LAM Fantastic Futures 2026: Trust in the Loop conference is co-hosted by the Library of Congress, the National Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution, with support from staff at these organizations and the AI4LAM DC Chapter. The Program Committee is led by the co-hosts, with guidance and input from AI4LAM members, the AI4LAM Board of Directors, and experts from the libraries, archives, and museums (LAM) community. FF2026 will be held both in person and in a hybrid format.
