Since 2009, PrideNZ has been on a journey to document, and make Takatāpui LGBTI Rainbow content as accessible to communities now and into the future. Part of that journey is using Artificial intelligence and Gen AI to make the collections more discoverable and accessible. This may be through the creation of AI transcriptions of the audio, creating summaries and articles, or having conversations with the collection using the customised Queery PrideNZ GPT.
