  The growing application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of
information retrieval (IR) affects different domains, including cultural
heritage. By facilitating organisation and retrieval of large volumes of
heritage-related content, AI-driven IR systems inform users about a broad range
of historical phenomena, including genocides (e.g. the Holocaust). However, it
is currently unclear to what degree IR systems are capable of dealing with
multiple ethical challenges associated with the curation of genocide-related
information. To address this question, this chapter provides an overview of
ethical challenges associated with the human curation of genocide-related
information using a three-part framework inspired by Belmont criteria (i.e.
curation challenges associated with respect for individuals, beneficence and
justice/fairness). Then, the chapter discusses to what degree the
above-mentioned challenges are applicable to the ways in which AI-driven IR
systems deal with genocide-related information and what can be the potential
ways of bridging AI and memory ethics in this context.
