@transkribus.bsky.socialWho owns AI? Who controls the process?
Questions worth asking of any AI you trust with your sources.
Our board opened #TUC26 in Passau and explained what Transkribus stands for: unity in diversity, a community of people, and an ecosystem instead of a black box.
@transkribus.bsky.socialLast day of #TUC26 is here!
Starting with scholarship recipients presenting their research, then more lightning talks, roundtables, and our final "Road Ahead" session.

At #TUC26, we will explore how AI can support historical research with three days of keynote speeches, workshops and round-table discussions.
Join us in person or online - see you in Passau on Monday! 👋
@transkribus.bsky.socialHTR is usually framed as a research tool. But once it works, people start teaching it, adapting it, and finding new uses for it. 💡
Next week, six talks explore what it actually takes to teach HTR literacy, and what happens once people start using it creatively.
Catch the full session at #TUC26!

However, all of this costs money - something we don't have lots of sloshing around.
If you appreciated our coverage, please consider chipping in to fund it.
