View the pre-recorded presentation to prepare for this live Q&A SessionIs it possible to create an AI-based experience that feels truly native to a museum’s story? Our process uncovered that… this is the wrong question. We will discuss how The Henry Ford and Bluecadet used lo-fi prototyping, collaborative workshops, and open-ended technical sketching to explore a playful way into our broad, seemingly disparate digital collections—and how we found an authentic use for AI as a part of a larger human-driven experience. We’ll explain how we integrated this experience into our existing digital collections infrastructure to enable easy updating and additional future experiences. Finally, we will reflect on and discuss the future of our initial project—a communal, touch-based experience—in a changed museum landscape.
