Key point
OpenAI collaborated with The Met to present an AI chatbot exhibit that recreates historical figures.
Details
OpenAI collaborated with the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met)'s Costume Institute to showcase AI technology for the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" exhibition.
At the heart of this collaboration is a custom chatbot experience that recreates Natalie Potter, a figure from early 20th-century New York society. Visitors can view her 1931 wedding dress while conversing with an AI-embodied Natalie, vividly experiencing life and the spirit of the era.
To implement the technology, the team worked with the museum's digital team to carry out the following:
- Building a carefully curated dataset from letters, newspaper articles, and historical documents
- Applying Custom Instructions based on that material to OpenAI's latest language model
Through close collaboration with the museum's historians and curators, the AI was designed to be informative while remaining respectful of historical facts. In addition, the same safety mechanisms used in ChatGPT were applied to ensure safe and appropriate interactions for all visitors.
