RIMPA Hackathon

Bias, misinformation, and disinformation pose serious challenges for information management professionals by reducing information quality and autenticity, undermining public trust, and weakening organisational integrity. These risks are increasingly amplified by AI technologies, which can rapidly generate and spread misleading content at scale. As a result, workflows are disrupted, verification demands grow, and decision‑making becomes more difficult as it becomes harder to distinguish reliable information from false, emotive, or biased material.

Your challenge is now to consider:

How is the use of AI in organisations leading to these problems?
What are the long-term risks for records and archives collections that need to be mitigated?
What information management skills and practices could guard against bias, misinformation, and disinformation?
How can skills, practices, associated standards and protocols be implemented to provide a solution?
How can the solution help information managers play a strategic role in supporting AI initiatives and use?
Ready, Set, Go! Let your innovative ideas go wild to find a solution. Your team’s solution could include:

A methodology
A strategy
Protocols
A specification for a digital tool
Algorithms
Formulas

However, it’s really up to your team to brainstorm and identify potential ways of handling the problem and creating innovative solutions!
