From Ashes to Art: How AI is Reshaping Museums, and Culture & Heritage

In this exciting episode, host Priya Patel sits down with Lucia Cipollina Kun, a final year PhD student at the University of Bristol, to discuss the transformative role of AI in the arts, culture, and heritage sectors. Lucia shares her journey into AI and its applications in art restoration, preservation, and beyond.

You’ll learn:

• How AI is being used to restore and preserve cultural heritage, including damaged frescoes and paintings, by identifying patterns and suggesting restoration methods without damaging the originals.
• The groundbreaking work on the Herculaneum papyri, where AI and machine learning help read ancient texts without unrolling or damaging them, revealing millennia-old poetry and thoughts.
• The innovative use of AI in museums, such as the Tate Britain project, where audience engagement is enhanced through interactive tools that allow visitors to reimagine and expand traditional artworks.
• The potential of AI to handle tedious tasks in museums, like cataloging small artifacts or identifying patterns in archaeological sites, demonstrating how technology can preserve history while making it more accessible and engaging for future generations.
