Text Shot: The University of Virginia Archival AI Protocol (UVA AAIP) establishes a practical standard governing how artificial intelligence systems may access and use archival collections. Grounded in a core rule - no access without control - the Protocol prohibits irreversible AI model training on archival materials unless item-level provenance, meaningful attribution, and contractually enforceable institutional control can be demonstrated. The Protocol distinguishes between retrieval-based AI systems, which keep source materials under organizational control, and general-purpose model training, which absorbs knowledge into model weights irreversibly.
