Artificial Intelligence seems destined to impact all fields and professions, and public history will be no exception. Already, public audiences can converse with deceased historical figures using AI chatbots, and ed tech companies are developing history coursework entirely generated and instructed by machines. What will this mean for public history institutions? In this session, Jason Steinhauer will present insights into how public history leaders must prepare for this AI-dominated future to remain relevant to key stakeholders, to include legislators, policymakers and the public. At a basic level, public history institutions will need to reimagine what they teach visitors within their walls and websites, when search engines, social media and chatbots make so much information searchable and knowable in an instant. At an intermediate level, public history institutions will need to consider what skills and ideas they can tackle through programming and exhibits that will help public audiences navigate such a world. Finally, at a societal level, public history institutions must decide how and whether they can be bulwarks of democratic ideals and governance in the face of technologies that are predicated on autocratic tendencies such as surveillance and centralization. This session will offer suggestions for institutions of varying sizes and resource levels in all three of these areas and will leave audiences with small actions that can be taken today as well as larger questions to consider over the long term.
