Abstract: Generative AI has realigned conversations on academic integrity, digital ethics, pedagogy, and research practices. As a leader in interdisciplinary research initiatives and the ethical use of data, the University of Pittsburgh's Research, Ethics and Society Initiative (RESI) seeks to create space where time, interdisciplinary insight, and thoughtful discourse take priority, and where leading scholars and experts can consider how their work supports common goals, and examine the differences in their approach, methodology, and philosophy. This discussion will explore the present state of our personal histories as data in archives and storage sites around the world. How can we cope with the space and energy needed to preserve our past? Who is responsible for processing our pasts? What does this work mean for our futures?
