How can generative AI and Project Zero tools create fresh opportunities to think deeply about the American experience of encounter? Through the lens of American portraiture, explore how AI, Project Zero Thinking Moves, and Imagine AI practices deepen dialogue, reflection, and voice around American encounters. Using Thinking Routines, participants will invite AI to the table to unpack portraits, and create an AI mashup of American portraits to express their vision of an American story. Then, drawing on this experience and Imagine AI’s agency-centered framework, discover how generative AI in a museum context can help explore complexity, build agency, spark conversation, and boldly imagine an AI toolkit that serves citizens.
