Humans versus machines: Who is the better museum mediator?

Let's put some human touch in this developing artificial intelligence world.

We will reflect on the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in the museums world and see how scientific and cultural mediation can merge with AI to create what we call the best "museum mediator". Following examples, visions and (hypo)thesis, we will consider this impressive technical development in museums. It can inspire our society to create a mediation tool which is not only intelligent and able to show new realities but is also following a human oriented approach.
