BPOC's Dreaming of AI series continues on Nov 1 at 10 AM EST/7 AM PST.

We have invited Bart Baesens professor of Big Data & Analytics at KU Leuven (Belgium) and lecturer at the University of Southhampton (UK) to share his research. This talk will elaborate on some recent developments in generative AI. There will be a discussion on large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, BERT), the underlying transformer architecture (encoder/decoder setup), and the attention mechanism. Join us as we discuss the economic, job, and educational impact of these technologies. We will zoom in on AGI/Singularity and review key criteria for trustworthy AI such as open source, education, transparency, regulation, and explainability. We will examine key challenges including untapping new sources of data, cause and effect reasoning, multimodal AI, neuro-symbolic AI, and AI systems capturing a world model. hashtag hashtag hashtag

As part of BPOC's Dreaming of AI series, we have invited Guru Experience to discuss using AI to create personalized cultural engagement. Like many solution providers in the museum service industry, AI is being increasingly integrated into the tools we use to accomplish our work, including Collections Management and Digital Asset Management Systems. We are also seeing examples that augment the visitor experience with ChatGPT-enhanced interpretation. BPOC, in partnership with Guru, is exploring using AI to revolutionize how museums can engage with their audiences. How far can we take AI-driven solutions to create deeper, more meaningful connections between our visitors and museum collections? Join this webinar to see how Guru is using AI to enhance the visitor connection and experience, including "Escape Balboa Park," a joint pilot project to create an AI-driven, personalized, configurable, experiential interaction with museum collections primarily designed to drive physical attendance.

Earlier this week, Balboa Park Online Collaborative hosted another webinar in our ‘Dreaming of’ series with Dreaming of AI with Hidonix. Giovanna Panebianco and Jovan Harmon from Hidonix introduced the Museum Innovation Technology (MIT) platform, an all-in-one solution for museums that includes a content management system, a mobile application for visitors, and a customer relationship management system. They demonstrated the platform's many features and functionality, including AI capabilities for digitization, cataloging, content creation, and personalizing tours, as well as integrations with other technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT. The discussion also covered the platform's ability to manage and standardize operations across all parts of a museum, from handling changes in artwork location to providing smart parking.
