staff layoffs, depleted reserves — all while demand for support keeps rising and equity-focused work faces direct suppression.<br>

As part of a <b>cooperative agreement with the National NAGPRA Program, National Park Service</b>, focused on NAGPRA training, the
<b>National Preservation Institute developed seven in-depth training videos </b>on various issues related to NAGPRA implementation. These online training courses were designed to provide participants with practical knowledge and tools needed to support their

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In this upcoming four-part speaker series, the National Council on Public History (NCPH) and the American Conservation Experience (ACE) Mellon Humanities Program will bring together experts to help us consider
the ways that artificial intelligence is reshaping our world and our work. <br>
<br>
As generative AI (colloquially, “gen AI”) technology rapidly improves, it becomes more difficult to detect understand, and manage for responsible use. This is especially critical for public historians and public humanists whom the public trusts to share information
that is ethical, factual, and fundamentally human. We must get our heads around this technology and how it impacts the work we do.<br>
<br>
This series will tackle questions like: what do we mean when we talk about gen AI? How do we recognize it, and what AI tools have potential use cases for the public humanities? How can we ethically engage with generative AI tools as public historians, museum
practitioners, writers, archivists, and educators?<o:p></o:p></p>
