AAOO commissioned a research project to explore the landscape of digital heritage initiatives especially in connection with AI in Africa and Asia. The research identified 110 projects and 98 individuals, and explored how and why cultural heritage projects integrate technology, what leading voices in the field were saying and why, and what current initiatives there are focused on community-driven and ethical AI, particularly with a global south focus.
The report was released internally in March 2025 and is now available to the public here.
