Colby Raley, strategist within the New Zealand Public Sector team at Microsoft, presents at NDF23.

Abstract:

While artificial intelligence (AI) is already widely in use across the GLAM sector, generative AI is poised to revolutionise access and engagement by increasing inclusivity, simplifying curation processes, supporting the scalability of interactive exhibits, and delivering on opportunities that have not yet been imagined. Microsoft has invested strongly in AI research and solutions over the years and is now at the forefront of both technical breakthroughs and responsible implementation of generative solutions. In this talk, we will cover recent developments in generative AI and how these emerging capabilities can support the cultural sector, including examples of Microsoft’s ongoing investment in AI for Cultural Heritage.
