A mediation system incorporating artificial intelligence for the exhibition From Kalila wa Dima to La Fontaine, travelling through fables

Intersecting perspectives: artificial intelligence in museums

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a trending topic across all professions and sectors—and museums are no exception.   Some cultural institutions are eager to incorporate this technology into their practices and tools, not only to enrich the visitor experience but also to support in-house professionals.  However, the implementation of AI in museums raises major operational and legal challenges.  In this new Experts’ Corner, Charlotte Clergeau, Digital Projects Officer, and Léa Karouby, Junior Legal Officer at France Muséums, present a practical case  of how AI has been applied in the recent exhibition jointly organised with Louvre Abu Dhabi, From Kalila wa Dimna to la Fontaine, Travelling Through Fables, presented at Louvre Abu Dhabi from 26 March to 21 July 2024.
