The Spark

🗣️“Cultural heritage institutions now have the opportunity to jump on the train of AI and stay in the game.”

The Impact

🗣️ “The shift from manual work to the intellectual power of people is the biggest change AI can help us achieve.”

The Challenge

🗣️ “AI is evolving so fast that nobody can really adapt to it — and institutions are left without a roadmap for how to implement it.”

The Future

🗣️“The new language is happening online, not in published books — and we need to treat that digital space as cultural heritage.”

The Takeaway

🗣️ ““AI is here and it’s going to stay — it’s better that we use it, adapt it, and see it as a tool that helps us work.”
