ReInHerit Toolkit - Museums+AI Workshop IULM AI LAB Milan IT, 9th October 2023
"The recent explosion in generative AI means that museums have to quickly adapt to the new landscape and understand how to make the most of it ethically."
To help museums in doing so InvisibleStudio together with two leading institutions, the Goldsmiths University in London and IULM AI Lab in Milan, designed a workshop focused on navigating the ethical landscape of AI in museums, 9th October 2023, Milan, Italy.
Hosts & Workshop Facilitators:
- Oonagh Murphy Goldsmiths University AI+Museums Network.
- Guido Di Fraia AI Lab IULM University
- Giuliano Gaia InvisibleStudio LTD IULM University
Italian Case Histories:
- Paolo Mazzanti & Marco Bertini MICC University of Florence / H2020 Reinherit Consortium "Increase User Engagement and motivate learning in Museums with Computer Vision and AI - The ReInHerit Toolkit”
- Luca Melchionna Machineria "AI and attempts not to reinvent the wheel. Lessons learned in the recent past"
- Francesco Ronchi Synestesia "AI experiments at the Museo Nazionale del Cinema of Turin IT"
This hands-on event brings together museums, university researchers and private companies to explore the responsible integration of AI technologies in cultural institutions. Paolo Mazzanti and Marco Bertini MICC Media Integration and Communication Center presented a case history at Museums+AI Workshop.
During the workshop, MICC presented AI/CV-based tools developed as part of the ReInHerit Toolkit, following a useful discussion on ethical Issues with the goal to connect Museums Networks focused on users, interactions and innovation.
The presentation of these applications through the working groups provided valuable insights and feedback to improve AI practices in museums.
Italian Case histories of this workshop will be inserted in the Italian translation of "AI: AMuseum Planning Toolkit" edited by Dr Giuliano Gaia InvisibleStudio, in collaboration with Dr. Oonagh Murphy co-leader of the project AI+Museums Network.
