Smithsonian Deploys AI to Connect American Revolution Artifacts
Key Takeaways
- The Smithsonian is applying AI models to its collection of American Revolution-era items through a project called Revolution Crossroads.
- The project aims to let the public and scholars search collections and draw connections across institutions, including the Library of Congress.
- Researchers began applying the AI models in the spring and quickly found links that once required extensive manual searching.
- One early example tied a silversmith's 1774 newspaper advertisements for a creamer to a similar object in the National Museum of American History.
