The Archaeological Site and Place Response Enabler (Daryl) will become a key tool for the MAF, based in Betancuria, serving as a real-world testing ground. This AI system, designed to improve the museum experience, has been operational at El Museo Canario, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, since last April.
The implementation of Daryl in the Majorero museum will coincide with the celebration of International Museum Day. Its launch is part of the experimentation and validation day for the LegacIA project, which will allow direct testing of the tool with users in an open cultural environment, evaluating aspects related to accessibility, the usefulness of the experience, and the capacity of artificial intelligence to facilitate new forms of access to heritage knowledge.
“"Improving the visitor experience is fundamental in museums, and technology plays a key role here in assisting visitors, expanding the ways in which the experience unfolds."
The LegacIA project, which makes Daryl's arrival possible, is an initiative funded by the social innovation grants call from the Canarian Agency for Research, Innovation and Information Society (ACIISI). This funding is crucial for promoting proposals that foster inclusion, cohesion, and employment through innovation in the region.
The integration of this Artificial Intelligence assistant into the MAF not only represents a cutting-edge resource for disseminating the rich heritage of the Majorero people but also seeks to promote cultural tourism on the island. According to an ACIISI spokesperson, LegacIA exemplifies the innovation model that Canarias aims to promote: useful, close, connected to the territory, and with a direct impact on citizens.
