This themed issue examines the connections—past, present, and future—between artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and archives. Our exploration is driven by three interrelated trends, which together indicate what we describe as an “archival turn” in Al research (Taurino & Smith, 2022) across the disciplinary spectrum from computational sciences to the social sciences and humanities. We invite contributions focusing on, but not restricted to, the following themes: « Politics of open-source data archives (non-profits, community, activist, etc.) « Data collection practices, networks, platforms, infrastructures and systems * Archival aesthetics of/in Al « Histories of Al and srchives « STS perspectives on archives and Al « Critical Data, Dataset and Al Studies of archival practices and infrastructures « Data formats, quality, scope, scale « Automated archival methodologies « Al archives and Digital Humanities « Artistic engagements with Al and archives
