The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has granted awards totaling $6,000,000 in Museum Grants for African American History and Culture. The 34 grantees will match these awards with an additional $8,002,981 in non-federal funds. Museum Grants for African American History and Culture support activities that build the capacity of African American museums and support the growth and development of museum professionals at African American museums. Details in the grant, including recipients, are available at https://www.imls.gov/news/imls-funding-6-million-museum-grants-support-african-american-history-and-culture .

G enerative artificial intelligence (AI) describes algorithms (such as ChatGPT) that can be used to create new content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos. Large Language Models are specialized AI models trained on enormous volumes of text data and created to comprehend and produce text-based content. I am hardly the first to ask the question of whether these tools can facilitate the research process. A proposed Scholarly AI taxonomy “outlines seven key roles that AI could potentially play in a scholarly publishing workflow.” 1 UNESCO has suggested possible uses of ChatGPT in the research process including for research design, data collection, data analysis, and writing up. 2 Indeed, an industry has already sprung up with enterprising researchers selling their knowledge in this area with tutorials such as “Become an efficient academic writer with AI apps.” So, for what it is worth, here’s my take on where generative AI can assist (or not) the research process. The only prediction I am making is this will be out of date by publication.

February 2022 70 Twenty years later, as the U.S. “Afghanistan Project” concluded in 2021 with the U.S. troop withdrawal and civilian evacuation, it became clear that despite our good intentions to develop and foster a democratic state in Afghanistan, it was only a partial success.1,2,3 Despite the corruption within the ranks of certain Afghan officials and the frustrating outcomes for the planned projects, a semblance of functioning civil society had emerged across several urban centers in Afghanistan. The levels of corruption, ineptitude, and missed chances have been documented in the series of reports with the title “What We Need to Learn: Lessons from Twenty Years of Afghanistan Reconstruction,” prepared by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction.4 The central government in Kabul had a web presence through several departmental websites and those of the regional, provincial governments. Besides governmental websites, several educational institutions of higher learning, artists, social activists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) described themselves, expressed their opinions, reported policy decisions, and communicated other information through their web presence on official websites and social media sites. The rapid takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban and their arrival on August 15, 2021, at the Presidential Palace in Kabul symbolized how Afghanistan will be governed. It also meant that the Taliban would appoint new ministers and implement new policies that will replace the existing governmental websites. Also, the change indicated the way civil society would function. The activists, NGOs, and others with websites and social media presence, might be forced to take these websites down or delete them. The “disappearance” of these websites implied leaving lacunae in the reconstruction of an evolving society in Afghanistan. The rich substrate of differing opinions these websites represented was at risk of being lost forever. Thus, Liladhar R. Pendse decided to act in a timely fashion and began crawling some of the obvious websites that he thought were bound to change. However, the project could not have been successful if it were not for collaboration from faculty members and students who are Afghanistan specialists and are fully versed in the cultures and languages of Afghanistan.

二十年后的2021年，随着美国撤军和平民撤离，美国的“阿富汗计划”结束了，很明显，尽管我们在阿富汗发展和培养一个民主国家的良好意图，但它只取得了部分成功。1,2,3尽管某些阿富汗官员内部存在腐败现象，计划中的项目的结果令人沮丧，但阿富汗几个城市中心出现了一个运作良好的公民社会。阿富汗重建特别监察长编写了一系列题为“我们需要学习的东西:阿富汗重建二十年的教训”的报告，记录了腐败、无能和错失的机会。4喀布尔的中央政府通过几个部门网站和地区、省政府网站建立了网络。除了政府网站，一些高等教育机构、艺术家、社会活动家和非政府组织(ngo)也通过他们的网站在官方网站和社交媒体网站上描述自己、表达自己的观点、报告政策决定和交流其他信息。塔利班迅速接管阿富汗，并于2021年8月15日抵达喀布尔总统府，这象征着阿富汗将如何治理。这也意味着塔利班将任命新的部长并实施新的政策来取代现有的政府网站。此外，这种变化表明了公民社会的运作方式。活动人士、非政府组织和其他拥有网站和社交媒体的人可能会被迫关闭或删除这些网站。这些网站的“消失”意味着阿富汗社会在重建过程中留下了空白。这些网站所代表的不同观点的丰富基础有可能永远消失。因此，Liladhar R. Pendse决定及时采取行动，开始抓取一些他认为肯定会改变的明显网站。但是，如果没有精通阿富汗文化和语言的阿富汗专家教员和学生的合作，这个项目是不可能成功的。Liladhar R. Pendse
