Future-Ready Metadata: Building a Foundation for AI-Enhanced Records Management

Metadata has long been the backbone of records management, but AI is transforming how it’s applied. This session explores how AI enhances metadata through automation, entity extraction, ROT detection, and retention triggers—using real-world case studies to highlight both benefits and governance requirements. We’ll address common metadata risks and share practical steps to prepare for AI, including audits, taxonomy standardization, and cross-functional alignment. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap to build a future-ready metadata strategy that drives efficiency, reduces risk, and remains defensible and transparent.
