Preservation of digital documents generated by artificial intelligence: a strategy to fight against racism

Abstract

This persuasive positioning article discusses the importance of preserving digital documents generated by artificial intelligence (AI) as a strategy to combat racism. Because, as technological advances have developed in recent years, algorithmic racism has increasingly become a central topic of concern and debate. AI algorithms can reflect biases and stereotypes present in the data from which they are trained, resulting in discriminatory decisions across various segments. The convergence between AI and racial issues is an increasingly relevant issue in the contemporary context of constant technological advances and the development of algorithms for the generation of content in digital media, such as; AI images and videos. This AI-generated digital content is essential for promoting debate and public awareness of algorithmic racism, today and for future generations. Since digital preservation aims to ensure long-term access, it is necessary because technology is changing rapidly. The preservation of digital documents is important because they are sources of information, which help to remember, tell, prove and understand what happened in the past. Remembering is important so that it does not repeat itself and so that future generations firmly reject all forms of racism, including algorithmic racism. This will be possible with the preservation of digital documents.
