That's a good question, what do we have here?

Internet Archive Europe began preserving European digital materials since its founding in 2004 in the Netherlands.

So this has been around for a while, but it appears to be mostly aimed at books, which is a (tiny, in numbers) subset of what archive.org deals with, with now some AI sprinkled on top?

I mean, LLMs might have a role in research on those materials, fine, but this kind of feels like the broad, hand-wavy "squirt some AI on $thing because... gotta have AI!" that a lot of people, myself included, are less than thrilled about.

At first, I thought this would be a EU branch of an important archive that is under fire in the US, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

So what, exactly, have we here?
