Abstract

The expansion of artificial intelligence in archives, documentation systems and media archives has intensified a transformation that cannot be understood solely as technical innovation or task automation. In television audiovisual documentation, this shift is particularly visible because of the convergence of high production volumes, time pressure, continuous editorial reuse, descriptive granularity and multiplatform circulation. Drawing on a critical-conceptual approach supported by documentary analysis and based on a comparative reading of recent academic literature, broadcaster-sector studies, and professional and institutional documents, this article examines the loss of sufficiency of standardisation as the exclusive centre of professional documentary value. The argument advanced is that standardisation remains indispensable as an infrastructure of consistency, interoperability and retrievability, but that professional value increasingly tends to be recentred around documentary judgement, contextualisation, provenance and traceability, access mediation, and the critical governance of automation and AI.

重新定位标准化：人工智能与电视视听文献专业价值的重新集中

人工智能在档案、文件系统和媒体档案中的扩展，加剧了一种转型，这种转型不能仅仅理解为技术创新或任务自动化。在电视视听文件中，由于高产量、时间压力、持续编辑重用、描述粒度和多平台流通的融合，这种转变尤其明显。本文采用文献分析支持的批判性概念方法，并基于对近期学术文献、广播部门研究以及专业和机构文件的比较阅读，探讨了作为专业纪录片价值唯一中心的标准化充分性的丧失。提出的论点是，作为一致性、互操作性和可检索性的基础设施，标准化仍然是不可或缺的，但专业价值越来越倾向于重新集中在文件判断、情境化、来源和可追溯性、访问调解以及自动化和人工智能的关键治理上。

期刊介绍： Archival Science promotes the development of archival science as an autonomous scientific discipline. The journal covers all aspects of archival science theory, methodology, and practice. Moreover, it investigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and data. It also seeks to promote the exchange and comparison of concepts, views and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the world.Archival Science''s approach is integrated, interdisciplinary, and intercultural. Its scope encompasses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context. To meet its objectives, the journal draws from scientific disciplines that deal with the function of records and the way they are created, preserved, and retrieved; the context in which information is generated, managed, and used; and the social and cultural environment of records creation at different times and places.Covers all aspects of archival science theory, methodology, and practiceInvestigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and dataPromotes the exchange and comparison of concepts, views, and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the worldAddresses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context
