How the Natural History Museum is Scanning 80 Million Dead Creatures

The Natural History Museum in London has set itself the mammoth task of digitising its specimens - all 80 million of them. The museum's collection includes everything from a blue whale skeleton to Martian meteorites, making progress understandably slow. Head of Informatics Vince Smith says it would take around 1,500 years for the team to manually digitise it all, so in 2014 they decided to write software that allows them to do it in bulk. They now use six DSLR cameras to process up to 200 items at a time. WIRED went behind the scenes to meet the researchers working on the project and learn more about how they digitise the different specimens.

Terah Lyons: AI and diversity – the cultural and societal context behind artificial intelligence

Terah Lyons is the Founding Executive Director of the Partnership on AI, which was established to study and formulate best practices on AI technologies and advance the public’s understanding of AI. Prior to this, she served as Policy Advisor to the U.S. Chief Technology Officer at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) during the Obama administration. In this video, Terah shares how after the California State Senate proposed using a machine learning-based system for pre-trial detention decisions, the Partnership investigated the plan and published a report on the minimum requirements such a system would need to meet to be fit for use. The requirements held not just for the system itself, but also for the people using it: for example, judges would need to demonstrate an understanding of the algorithm’s outputs.
