  • the impact of AI on museum operations, curation, engagement, and creativity;
  • practical applications and case studies of AI in museums; and
  • strategic approaches to leverage AI benefits while mitigating risks.

  • expert insights: accessing the most current research and insights on AI’s role in museums, and understanding both its opportunities and challenges;
