Investigating the intricate interactions among various stakeholders in the profound convergence of AI and the archival sector provides valuable theoretical guidance and practical lessons for the smart transformation of the archival enterprise.Employing Actor-Network Theory and qualitative analysis,this study delves into the actor configurations,translation processes,and network evolution within exemplary "AI+Archives" cases in China.The progression of domestic "AI+Archives" initiatives is observed through four stages,AI deployment planning,network architecture design,practice system establishment,and objective vision refinement.The practical logic can be summarized as,resource-technology interdependence influencing actor choices,technology possession dictating actor strategies,and institutional frameworks directing the course of "AI+Archives" endeavors.
