BPOC hosted the Dreaming of AI: A Crash Landing into AI in Collections Management
webinar as part of our Dreaming of AI series on May 2nd, where we heard Amy Adams, Collections Information & Access Manager at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, present the museum's experiences with implementing artificial intelligence in collections management and discussing ongoing projects related to AI classification of cultural artifacts. She highlighted the potential and limitations of these technologies, emphasizing the need for customization, data validation, and improvement of data quality. She also shared that the museum plans to continue to collaborate with academic partners and suppliers to integrate AI into their systems for entity extraction and keyword extraction, while considering the challenges of compliance with data protection regulations.
