This article examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the archival
heritage digitization processes, specifically regarding the manuscripts'
automatic transcription, their correction, and normalization. It highlights how
digitality has compelled scholars to redefine Archive and History field and has
facilitated the accessibility of analogue sources through digitization and
integration into big data. The study focuses on two AI systems, namely
Transkribus and ChatGPT, which enable efficient analysis and transcription of
digitized sources. The article presents a test of ChatGPT, which was utilized
to normalize the text of 366 letters stored in the Correspondence section of
the Biscari Archive (Catania). Although the AI exhibited some limitations that
resulted in inaccuracies, the corrected texts met expectations. Overall, the
article concludes that digitization and AI can significantly enhance archival
and historical research by allowing the analysis of vast amounts of data and
the application of computational linguistic tools.

本文考察了人工智能对档案遗产数字化的影响，尤其是对手稿的自动转录、更正和规范化的影响，强调数字化推动学者重新定义档案和历史领域，并通过数字化和整合到大数据中实现模拟源的便利性。研究侧重于两个人工智能系统，即 Transkribus 和 ChatGPT，这些系统可以有效分析和转录数字化的来源。本文对 ChatGPT 进行了测试，该测试用于规范化存储在 Biscari Archive（Catania）的通信部门的 366 封信件的文本。虽然人工智能存在一些限制导致的不准确性，但更正后的文本符合预期。总的来说，本文得出结论，数字化和人工智能可以通过允许大量数据的分析和应用计算语言学工具，显著增强档案和历史研究。
