10 May 2024 at 12-5
Seminar Room 1, The Wave, 2 Whitham Rd, Sheffield S10 2AH
This event aims to understand the ways AI is being used in the GLAM sector. This includes exploring the challenges, risks, opportunities and other untapped potentials of AI in GLAM. This event will contain two parts. The first part will be a set of talks discussing the use of AI in GLAM and further opportunities in GLAM. In the second part, all the speakers and audiences will break out into smaller groups to brainstorm and discuss specific sub-topics in this area. This will also provide opportunities to find other collaborators/partners to take forward some of these ideas.
