Museums in the Age of AI

Futurespaces has announced a new session for its community events series, stepping in with a timely topic after a schedule change. Josh Goldblum, founder of Bluecadet and Futurespaces, will host Museums in the Age of AI tomorrow, September 4.

Rethinking Museums in a Digital Era

For centuries, museums have been more than repositories of objects. They began as cabinets of curiosity, grew into institutions of memory, and became central to nation-building and cultural heritage. Today, their authority as cultural gatekeepers is being challenged—not only by the digital age but also by artificial intelligence.

In this discussion, Goldblum will explore how museums are adapting to an era of algorithmically curated information. The session will examine questions such as:

• What unique role can museums play when knowledge is instantly accessible everywhere?

• Can they continue to serve as town squares of cultural discourse?

• How should they balance financial sustainability with cultural and social responsibility?

An Invitation to Dialogue

The event will also consider the broader contracts that underpin museums today—economic, social, and philosophical—and how these institutions can remain relevant in a digital-first world. Attendees are encouraged to stay for the roundtable discussion, designed to gather perspectives and spark further dialogue.
