This panel discussion explores how museums are harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance security, streamline operations, and inform strategic decision-making across a wide range of applications. Panelists will share how they’ve strengthened their security posture through advanced surveillance technologies, anomaly detection, and predictive monitoring.

The conversation will also examine how AI is influencing policy development—guiding institutions in establishing ethical guardrails that align with their missions and values. These policies play a critical role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and appropriate human oversight.
