Integrating A.I. into museums: Expert says visitors may one day interact with people from history

Douglass McDonald, the former CEO of Alamo Trust Inc., discusses the limitations and possibilities of integrating artificial intelligence into museums.
"I think if we learned anything from the internet in the last 35 years, it’s that we really didn’t anticipate the impact it was going to have. And we don’t know for sure what AI is going to do for us, one way or another," said McDonald, who added: "Some people are very concerned about it. I think the reality is with all new technologies, we’re going to find some exciting elements of it, and we’ll have some we’ll regret."

A general from a famous battle, for instance, can reconstruct his involvement in the war, but what would happen if someone were to ask a more general question, such as what they may have had for breakfast?
