AI-Mediated Archives (AMA) - a revolutionary approach to interactive narrative generation

In the rapidly evolving landscape of media and technology, the way we interact with and consume media content is undergoing a significant transformation. One of the greatest challenges in this digital age is the difficulty of efficiently retrieving meaningful information from large, often sprawling, media archives. This proposal aims to be at the forefront of addressing this challenge. We will develop an innovative system that leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to create user-driven narratives from video archives. This project will serve as a model for how AI technologies can be used to create immersive, interactive experiences with media archives in the future bringing a radical new dimension to public engagement with audiovisual archives more generally.

The project is intended to be a public-facing application, bringing much-needed re-use of archival materials to broadcasters with historical legacy. We will develop a scalable interactive visualization for immersive environments, combined with a novel Interactive Prompt System (IPS), to better engage users and place them at the center of these narratives.
