In MOD. Museum's Beyond Endings exhibit, visitors enter an interview booth and "step into the year 2125 for a job interview at leading death tech service provider Eterna.Life." "Inside they have a five minute conversation with a metahuman employee.... In the end, each visitor is offered a position at Eterna.Life; the choice to accept or decline is theirs." Quite a presentation by Claudia von der Borch on this AI-powered exhibition, at last week's MuseumNext AI meeting! image
Melbourne's recently opened National Communications Museum () features several engaging AI-powered interactive exhibits. One exhibit is an arcade-style game that lets visitors design a "future collection object" for the museum and print a poster of the object to take home. Enjoyed the presentation by curator Jemimah Widdicombe at last week's MuseumNext conference. () #museum #history #generativeAI #Melbourne
Hoping to visit the main London Museum when it opens next year! For now its website () has been thoughtfully enhanced with AI-powered features. Among them, AI tools generated alt-text for more than 130,000 objects, doing a very good if not perfect job on a task that was entirely impractical for humans. Enjoyed an excellent presentation by digital innovations head Trish Thomas and colleagues during last week's MuseumNext AI conference. #museum #London #generativeAI image
