In the AI era: what happens to เจ้าหน้าที่จัดเก็บเอกสาร

Compressed by automation

Archives management has a high risk of automation; AI can already replace a lot of basic work in classification, metadata extraction, and digital archiving. Entry-level positions are shrinking, but expert appraisal and curation skills still provide a moat.

🤖 AI already replacing this job (tools / products / research / news)
  • OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software Tool Partial 1990

    Replaced the manual transcription and indexing of handwritten or printed documents by archivists, improving digitization efficiency and searchability.

  • IBM Watson Discovery Platform Partial 2017

    Replaced archivists' manual work of classifying files, tagging metadata, and extracting key information, speeding up archival organization and retrieval.

  • Google Cloud Document AI Platform Partial 2020

    Replaces archivists in tasks such as document classification, data extraction, and verification, especially suitable for large-scale digitization projects.

  • Archivematica Platform Partial 2014

    Replaced archivists in routine tasks like format conversion, metadata creation, and preservation strategy for digital archives.

  • Replaces some tasks of archivists in PDF document text recognition, content summarization, and format conversion, simplifying document management tasks.

⚠ Tasks AI will take over or replace
  • Automatic classification and indexing: AI automatically assigns metadata tags and classification numbers based on content
  • OCR text recognition and basic proofreading of digital archives
  • Simple keyword-based search and file retrieval
  • Automated monitoring and alerts for routine preservation status
  • Generating standardized descriptions and summaries
↑ Tasks AI will augment
  • Using AI tools for large-scale archival content mining and correlation analysis
  • Improve accuracy and semantic understanding of archival retrieval through natural language processing
  • Using machine learning to assist in appraising archival value and prioritizing preservation
  • Use automated workflows to accelerate digital restoration and format migration.
  • Uses AI to generate preliminary curation reports and exhibition suggestions
🛡 Human moat
  • High-level archival appraisal and value judgment (e.g., determining which materials are worth permanent preservation)
  • Handle ambiguous, damaged, or extremely unstructured physical archives.
  • Complex communication and ethical decision-making with donors and researchers.
  • Interdisciplinary knowledge integration and historical background interpretation.
  • Develop and oversee rules and quality assurance of AI systems
Skills to build (next 5 years)
  • Python data analysis and AI tool integration (e.g., text classification with TensorFlow)
  • Digital curation and metadata standards (e.g., Dublin Core, EAD).
  • Database management and SQL queries
  • Basic statistics and data visualization (for analyzing usage patterns)
  • Project Management and AI Ethics Awareness
  • Familiar with cloud platforms and digital preservation technology
Entry-level outlook

Entry-level archive processing positions (e.g., digitization scanning, basic cataloging) are being replaced by AI and automation tools; employers tend to hire versatile talents with data analysis and digital curation skills, increasing competition for pure operational roles.

🚀 How to level up in the AI era

Archivists should proactively learn AI tools and data analysis skills, evolving from executors to supervisors and curators. Focus on high-value appraisal, curation, and ethical decision-making, while mastering digital project management. Transition options include digital archive manager or cultural heritage data scientist.
