AI & Cultural Heritage - Roundtable Discussion

Описание: As part of the AI & Cultural Heritage event, we are joined by IAS Visiting Fellows Professor Claire Warwick, Chao Tayiana Maina, Professor Ahmed Elgammal, Dr Guzden Varinlioglu, Associate Professor Victoria Lemieux and Loughborough University colleague Dr Kathryn Brown for a roundtable discussion.

The use of AI and digital technologies has the power to dramatically transform the nature of the cultural heritage sector; not just in terms of the information found and conveyed to the viewer or visitor, but how that knowledge is experienced. This roundtable discussion considers what the most significant challenges and developments might be in this field, and how might AI shift the experience, the very landscape of cultural heritage?

The participants in the roundtable represent a wide range of different fields within this sector. Dr Kathryn Brown (Loughborough University, UK) is an art historian interested in the intersection of museums, art markets, and digital art history. Dr Ahmed Elgammal (Rutgers, USA) is a computer scientist who founded and directs the Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, examining data science in the digital humanities. Dr Victoria Lemieux (University of British Columbia, Canada) is an Associate Professor of archival science, specialising in information management, especially through blockchain technology. Chao Tayiana Maina (African Digital Heritage and the Museum of British Colonialism, Kenya) specialises in digital heritage and her work focuses on how technology may be used to preserve, disseminate, and engage with African heritage. Dr Guzden Varinlioglu (MIT, USA) examines how digital technology may contribute to the preservation and presentation of architectural cultural heritage. Prof Claire Warwick (Durham University, UK) is a professor of digital humanities with a specific interest in how digital resources are used in cultural heritage.
