In the News: Thank you to Patrick Madden and American Alliance of Museums for this look at how we can use AI to understand and personalize The American Story 🏛️
In the new piece by the National Archives Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer Patrick Madden, discover how The National Archives Museum, in collaboration with C&G Partners and Cortina Productions, used the power of machine learning to transform 13.5 billion paper documents and 30 billion electronic records into a completely reimagined 9,000-sq-ft permanent gallery space.
From the article:
1️⃣ “Phygital” Displays: Explore topics that matter to you by selecting your interests on AI-powered kiosks, which augment original record displays, during your personalized journey through the nine themed exhibit halls.
2️⃣ Digital Backpacks: Anything you explore during the visit gets saved via your ticket barcode for further discovery at home.
3️⃣ Tech and Tradition: The AI experience allows the museum to display even more physical artifacts than the old layout, keeping the original history–like the iconic Rotunda–front and center.
