The Talking AI Museum Guide of the Future

What if museum collections could come alive and converse with visitors? Discover how the London Transport Museum’s AI Digital Posters project uses a multi-lingual conversational AI character as a Digital Museum Guide to answer visitor questions about the museum’s Art Deco poster collection and related topics.
