Abstract

Background: The increasing relevance of artificial intelligence (AI) within archival administration reflects the rapid growth of digital records and the rising demand for data-driven public services. Yet many initiatives struggle to move beyond pilot stages, largely because organizations struggle to adapt work practices, organizational structures, and decision-making cultures to accommodate AI integration.
Purpose: This study examines AI adoption readiness within the Jakarta Provincial Library and Archives Office (Dispusip DKJ) as it develops its 2025–2029 strategic plan.
Methods: The analysis draws on interviews with senior officials, observation of digitization infrastructure, and a review of internal policy documents.
Findings: The findings revealed a readiness gap: although Dispusip DKJ has built a solid technical base, organizational conditions remain uneven. The office lacks data arrangements suitable for model training, faces fragmented formats and limited system integration, and shows inconsistent metadata practices, alongside limited internal understanding of AI within the organization.
Originality/Value: This study argues that AI readiness in archival organizations cannot be inferred from infrastructure and digitization alone but should be understood as a broader process of organizational transformation, one that depends on leadership capacity to institutionalize data standardization, organizational learning, and reconfiguration of working arrangements within existing policy boundaries. This reframing offers a novel conceptual lens for assessing AI readiness in public archival institutions, moving beyond technology-centric evaluations.
