Lecture – Artificial intelligence and museums – a discussion

Artificial intelligence might come across as something out of a Hollywood film but this technology is already available on laptops and mobiles. We tried it out with a detail of our ‘Death of Dragut’ and the technical knowledge of Vincent Van Gogh …

Three Maltese researchers and experts in their field shall be talking about the practical application of artificial intelligence in culture, art and creative practice. Mark Bugeja shall talk about how this technology can be used to transcribe historic text. Wilbert Tabone shall speak about how this technology can enhance the museum experience with a focus on portraits. Last but not least, Dylan Seychell shall speak about style transfer in the arts and the thinking behind it.

This evening lecture and discussion is being held in collaboration with GDG Malta and the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Malta as part of the AI Evenings series of talks.

The evening shall be moderated by Prof Alexiei Dingli.

Admission is free of charge
