- Abstract: Archives play a crucial role in the construction and advancement of society.
Humans place a great deal of trust in archives and depend on them to craft
public policies and to preserve languages, cultures, self-identity, views and
values. Yet, there are certain voices and viewpoints that remain elusive in the
current processes deployed in the classification and discoverability of records
and archives.
In this paper, we explore the ramifications and effects of centralized, due
process archival systems on marginalized communities. There is strong evidence
to prove the need for progressive design and technological innovation while in
the pursuit of comprehensiveness, equity and justice. Intentionality and
comprehensiveness is our greatest opportunity when it comes to improving
archival practices and for the advancement and thrive-ability of societies at
large today. Intentionality and comprehensiveness is achievable with the
support of technology and the Information Age we live in today. Reopening,
questioning and/or purposefully including others voices in archival processes
is the intention we present in our paper.
We provide examples of marginalized communities who continue to lead
"community archive" movements in efforts to reclaim and protect their cultural
identity, knowledge, views and futures. In conclusion, we offer design and
AI-dominant technological considerations worth further investigation in efforts
to bridge systemic gaps and build robust archival processes.

The responsible AI (RAI) community has introduced numerous processes and artifacts to facilitate transparency and support the governance of AI systems.
We conduct semi-structured interviews with 19 government, legal, and civil society stakeholders who inform policy and advocacy around responsible AI efforts.
We organize these beliefs into four barriers that help explain how RAI artifacts may (inadvertently) reconfigure power relations across civil society, government, and industry.
