This AI ghost from the past could be your guide to the museums of the future


The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s latest fashion exhibit includes not only a 1930s wedding dress, but also a virtual ghost of the kind of socialite who would have worn it. OpenAI partnered with the museum to create Natalie Potter, a fictional century-old woman powered by its latest AI model, to interact with museum visitors and tell them about the dress and its place in fashion history.

The dress is part of the exhibition “Sleeping Beauties: The Awakening of Fashion.” Using a smartphone, you can access Chat with Natalie and text “here” the same way you would with ChatGPT.
