Exploring AI Futures & Fears, Together

Maybe you love AI and use it regularly – or maybe you hate AI and think it’s a forerunner to the reign of robot overlords. Or maybe you feel both ways at once! In our present world, AI is a must-learn reality. Hear from one museum who brought lovers, haters, and in-betweeners together for a staff working group across marketing, education, collections, and more. Consider how your museum might explore possibilities, discuss concerns, and experiment safely with generative AI. Hear about test projects (good and bad) and explore how a learning mindset can help museums venture into this brave new world.
