The "Creativity and AI" series reaches its second installment with a dedicated focus on Cultural Heritage. Hosted by the CreaTech Network at The University of Manchester, this event explores the intersection of cutting-edge artificial intelligence and the preservation and interpretation of our past. As museums, galleries, and archives increasingly turn to digital solutions, this seminar investigates how AI can be used to reconstruct lost artifacts, transcribe ancient texts, and create immersive historical experiences for the public. However, the event also addresses the ethical dilemmas inherent in "digitizing" culture, such as the ownership of digital twins and the potential for AI to replicate historical biases.
The session will feature case studies from University-led projects that utilize AI to map historical sites and manage vast digital archives. Experts in archaeology, digital humanities, and computer science will come together to discuss the "CreaTech" ecosystem in Greater Manchester. This is more than a technical seminar; it is a conversation about how we define and protect our collective memory in the 21st century. Attendees will see live demonstrations of AI tools used for heritage conservation and have the chance to participate in a "world-café" style discussion to brainstorm future collaborations. This event is a must-attend for heritage professionals and tech enthusiasts alike who are interested in the digital future of the past.
