After attending, learners will be able to:

• Explain and differentiate key terms, phrases, and concepts associated with AI and Machine Learning in GLAM
• Describe ways in which AI is being innovatively used in the cultural heritage context today
• Identify what kinds of tasks machine learning models excel at in GLAM applications
• Identify weaknesses in machine learning models
• Reflect on the ethical implications of machine learning to cultural heritage collections and discuss potential mitigation strategies
• Summarise the practical, technical steps involved in undertaking machine learning projects
• Identify additional resources on AI and Machine Learning in GLAM
