As is often discussed, the advent of AI, in particular large language models (LLMs), may be revolutionary for humanity. For one thing, it is the first time in human history that we are, in large numbers, treating artificial entities as if they speak, write, and make meaning as we do. But despite the volume of ongoing conversations between us and LLMs (ChatGPT and many others), few public archives of exist of these conversations. Those that do exist tend to allow people to preserve their own conversations with LLMs, thus entwining data creation and preservation. What’s also needed are archives that take an anthropological perspective, ones that look out into the world and try to find and preserve records of human/AI conversations for future research, exploration, and reflection. Preserving AI Voices aims to create an such an archive.
