New technologies in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are providing unprecedented access to cultural heritage, creating new cultural experiences, offering new ways to respond to key research questions in arts, languages, and cultures, and redefining the media and cultural and creative industries landscape. This highly interdisciplinary area opens up a number of exciting possibilities for research, teaching, knowledge exchange, and business engagement.
This internal event will highlight and map out expertise, strengths and possible directions and areas of future development on AI in arts, languages, culture, and heritage at the University of Manchester. Researchers from across the University of Manchester’s Digital Futures network will spotlight their research in these areas.
Join us to find out more about the University’s research in AI and the Arts and explore possible collaborations.
