  • 1.  AI Use in Your Museum Work

    Posted 06-13-2024 12:34 PM

    Hello Fellow Museum Workers,

    I have a question for the collective hive-mind regarding the use of AI in our museum work. Are any of you currently integrating AI technologies into your workflows? If so, how are you utilizing it?

    Recently, I've begun incorporating AI for various administrative tasks, such as generating meeting agendas. Additionally, I've started leveraging AI for object research. I've discovered that prompting AI to suggest potential research resources, such as relevant online databases, has been particularly effective. This approach has led me to discover valuable sources that I might not have otherwise considered, providing a useful starting point for my research. I have also mainly been using ChatGPT, but would love to hear if you are using any other AI technology that you would recommend.

    I'm very interested to hear if any of you are using AI in innovative ways to enhance your work. Your experiences and insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi Alexandra, have a look at the work of the National Museum of the Royal Navy in the UK. They utilize ML for their collection management. It's an interesting project.   Archaeology Meets AI To Help Preserve Maritime Heritage | University of Southampton

    Our team developed the first of its kind AI cataloging tool. We launched it late May of this year: https://www.museumadvocate.org/

    We plan to have a live demo at AAMG conference.

    Hello Alexandra,

    Thanks for bringing this topic up. AI and how it applies to Museums is definitely an interesting topic. From my experience, a lot of museum professionals are using AI to generate advanced analytics, digitize collections, manage visitors, and even offer mixed reality experiences. Those are just examples of AI usage in museums. The company I represent (Hidonix) has our own internal AI and machine-learning models that we've developed and integrated into our suite of technology. Always happy to discuss further if you'd like to see the endless possibilities of AI in museums. I can be reached at 310-678-6052 or at J.Harmon@Hidonix.com.

    Best,
