Since November 2023, I’ve sent workshop groups an optional, anonymous pre-session questionnaire. I’ve now collected answers from 408 cultural workers (from 38 organisations), a unique collection of responses which reflect the shifting attitudes, concerns and questions around AI from this sector over the past three years.

On 17 September 2026, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released its ‘Global Survey on the use of Artificial Intelligence in Museums’. Representing 403 museums from 90 different countries, it’s one of the most interesting and valuable resources I’ve seen published on this topic this year.
