Data, Dialogue, and Disruption: Insights from The Living Museum initiative

Data, Dialogue, and Disruption: Insights from The Living Museum

What if museum collections could talk back?

Join us on June 4th for a live conversation with Jonathan Talmi, the independent AI engineer behind The Living Museum — an experimental platform that allows visitors to search and converse with over 1.2 million artifacts from the British Museum's digital collection using natural language and generative AI.

In this webinar, moderated by Benjamin Benita, Jonathan will take us behind the scenes of one of the most talked-about — and debated — AI projects in the cultural sector. From the technology powering the experience, to the data collected from thousands of interactions, to the fierce controversy it sparked among GLAM professionals and the genuine enthusiasm it generated from museum directors: nothing is off the table.

We will also look ahead: what role should AI play in the museum of tomorrow, both online and onsite?…
