WWII Museum Unveils AI Exhibit for Virtual Conversations with Veterans

The New Orleans-based museum introduces an interactive exhibit allowing visitors to engage with WWII veterans and supporters through AI technology.

The National WWII Museum's new exhibit, 'Voices From the Front,' uses artificial intelligence to facilitate virtual conversations with veterans, including a Medal of Honor winner who passed away in 2022.
Visitors can interact with life-sized images of 18 veterans and war-era supporters, asking them questions about their experiences during the war.
The exhibit was four years in development and includes video-recorded interviews with each participant answering up to a thousand questions.
Aging veterans' diminishing presence at the museum prompted the integration of AI technology to preserve their stories for future generations.
The exhibit is part of the opening of the museum's Malcolm S. Forbes Rare and Iconic Artifacts Gallery, showcasing significant wartime artifacts.
