Write a poem, explain AI, rethink virtual events News from Museum of AI |
Denver, Nov 25, 2020
Bienvenidos. Welcome. Museum of AI is happy to announce a new online experience: Guided by actors, visitors learn AI concepts and solve challenges in a game-like, escape-room environment. See the sneak preview. We will blend our experience content with gathering apps such as Mmhmm, Gather, Zoom, Underline Science, and Whova. And I’m pleased to be a ‘private alpha’ host for an intriguing new app called Nowhere. ![]() Explaining AI, 2021 edition.
Preparing for a couple of upcoming talks, I’m thinking about innovative ways of explaining AI to decision makers.
![]() Hello darkness, my old friend. Will AI unite us in the end?
AI poetry contest! The museum is curating a collection of poems about artificial intelligence, and we want to hear yours! Best one wins a gorgeous water bottle. Any type of poem, really - limericks are good!
Until next time,

How it feels to work with human-in-the-loop AI. News from Museum of AI |
Denver, Sep 30, 2020
Hello museum enthusiasts! I feel AI impacting here! Tune in Tomorrow is one of my favorite movies (sadly overlooked). Stellar satire about a radio show, starring Peter Falk and a young Keanu Reeves. The best line: “I feel reality impacting here!” That sums 2020 up for me. Art can reveal what technology alone cannot, the concept behind Museum of AI core strategy: Combining a low-fi immersive storytelling aesthetic with rigorous AI learning objectives. For instance, one museum experience considers whether AI is the devil’s handmaiden (a ridiculous idea, at least until Lucifer codes his own algo). The museum is creating 3D experiences where people scroll/stroll through artifacts and exhibits, then participate in experiential learning. All designed to reinforce key principles about decision-making with artificial intelligence. ![]()
Correction. People and machines can work together in many ways. Key considerations are: Who decides what qualifies as an 'exception'? Who sets the guardrails? And who makes the final call? Human-AI collaboration on decision making, also known as human-in-the-loop AI or augmented intelligence, can be split into finely grained categories. Industry leaders have offered so many tables, analyses, articles, and matrices!
Don’t miss out on Burning News.
AI + Justice = ?
Until next time,
P.S. RIP Ari the standard poodle, MoAI Head of Security and beloved friend.

Good Question: New series on all things AI.
News from Museum of AI |
Denver, September 1, 2020/Museum of AI/- Hello friends! These certainly are interesting times for artificial intelligence, and for museums. We are doubly blessed.
Museum of AI is dedicated to showing people what it’s like to work with real-world machine intelligence, hopefully without sucking the fun out of it. The need to figure out AI is accelerating. While our live events are postponed, we are creating online experiences true to our actor-led, tongue-in-cheek aesthetic. The possibilities give this pandemic cloud a silver lining. Good Question: New series on all things AI. I am proud to say Museum of AI is launching a series of gatherings, each exploring a Good Question about business, science, or policy. Questions will be tackled by creators and practitioners, policy-makers, business execs, researchers, community members, and hopefully you. Expect unique, interactive content about pressing issues: Evidence-based analysis, thoughtful insights, and nuanced answers. The gatherings will be online for now. Good Question #1: 'Does AI belong in crime prevention?' Stay tuned for an announcement. Future events will address: 'How should policy-makers respond to broken or flawed AI?' 'Which AI applications are most promising for cities of the future?' Let us know what you’d like to ask. Don’t miss out on Burning News. Sign up for a membership and get the latest newsletter. Human-in-the-loop AI is a focus area for the museum: Technology designed to work with people, rather than replace them. Sometimes it’s called human-AI collaboration or augmented intelligence. This is where humans and machines do what they do best, together making better decisions and producing better outcomes. Museum Executive Director, Tracy Allison Altman, wrote recently about how House Hunters is similar to human-in-the-loop AI. |

Bloomfire Q&A: The Future of AI, Interactive B2B Learning, and More
Museum Executive Director, Tracy Allison Altman, interview |
Denver, July 9, 2020/Museum of AI/- In a Q&A with enterprise knowledge-sharing vendor Bloomfire, Museum of AI's Executive Director, Tracy Allison Altman, touched on several topics including the future of knowledge at work, human-AI interaction, and challenges facing business decision-makers.
On the future of knowledge at work, Tracy said: "I believe that as AI gets smarter and better at explaining itself, the strongest people will learn from that and develop a better understanding of how to make systematic, high-quality decisions. They will thrive, contribute more value, and learn to explain knowledge that’s rigorous and understandable." "Technology will continue to eliminate drudgery and dull, repeatable tasks with tools such as robotic process automation (RPA). This should free people up to capture and share the knowledge that’s most important, the stuff the machines can’t do on their own. I hope people will be inspired to create new ways to present knowledge, to make it more understandable, accessible, and reusable." On knowledge and decision-making: "It’s incredibly difficult to understand how people know what they know, and decide what they decide. Oftentimes we don’t or can’t articulate this to others, and sometimes we don’t understand it ourselves." "It’s equally difficult, and just as important, to understand how machines “know” what they know, and how algorithms make recommendations or choices." Photo credit: Madeline Jacobson - Bloomfire |

Do humans & AI collaborate or collide? News from Museum of AI |
Denver, Feb 10, 2020
Hello hello! Lots is happening at Museum of AI. Smiles all around. New fintech experiences! Artificial intelligence has huge potential for important finance functions. Tech can overcome human weaknesses, but it can also introduce harmful algorithmic bias. I’m very pleased to say the museum is developing immersive experiences about AI for lending, investing, and underwriting. We will explore behavioral economics, fairness, and financial outcomes: How are key players being affected? Guests will discover how people and AI can collaborate or collide. Stay tuned for dates & locations. Announcing the AI Artifacts Archive.
Museum of AI is dedicated to documenting the evolution of artificial intelligence capabilities, limitations, and impact: Capturing the whole AI story.
About accessibility. Our experiential installations show how it feels to see, touch, and work with AI. We always want to maintain accessibility when choosing the props, improv comedians, puzzle parts, and funky sets for our experiences. Museum of AI has formed an advisory group to address accessibility issues: Let us know if you are interested.
Until next time,
