Those that know me well know that I just love playing around with new tech – experimenting, learning, enjoying! AI in particular.
So, this talk really got me excited and I’ve chosen to use a foto gallery of Colby’s slides + some text below.
A case example: Be my AI
Helps connect blind people with volunteers that will help them with everyday tasks. Awesome!
[Potential] Use of AI in cultural institutions:
- Digitisation of collections
- Fragile objects
- Metadata
- First draft of descriptions
- Build connections between objects
- Experience and wayfinding
- Gamification
- Personalisation and co-creation
- AI generated art (some issues here re copyright protections but are being looked at)
Coming to a Microsoft tool you use soon!
Challenge
‘We need to get across this technology, including the risks and opportunities’.
And, I should add this link to the Smithsonian’s AI Values Statement (thanks to Indigo Holcombe-James for the intel).
[There were a lot of very thoughtful questions that we didn’t get to unfortunately… Some below]
