Artificial Intelligence: Your Mind and The Machine

“Artificial Intelligence: Your Mind and The Machine” returns to The John P. McGovern Museum of Health and Medical Science after its 2020 exhibition was interrupted by COVID-19 closures. The first traveling museum exhibition to focus on the reality and relevance of artificial intelligence, “Artificial Intelligence: Your Mind and The Machine” will be on display at The Health Museum until September 5, 2022. For more information, please visit https://www.thehealthmuseum.org/exhibit/ai-artificial-intelligence-your-mind-machine.

Visitors will get to interact with numerous examples of practical AI: computers translating stories into different languages; an “intelligent piano player” that helps make any person sound like a virtuoso; a real-time AI “painter” that creates real-time images of visitors in different classical art styles; applications that try to guess visitors’ emotions and ages; software that recognizes objects around it; and much more.

The exhibit also shows how the human brain goes through the process of learning and how that is different from trying to teach a machine to “think.” Using games and puzzles, visitors try to figure out the best solutions to simple and not-so-simple tasks. Humans learn many skills through trial-and-error and repetition. Artificial intelligence does the same thing by using math.
