Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems to be everywhere—but what is it really?

And how can we make sense of this rapidly evolving technology?

In celebration of the National Science Foundation’s 75th anniversary, join us at the American Museum of Natural History for Expedition AI—a hands-on exploration of how scientists, technologists, and educators are using AI to unlock the mysteries of the natural world. Explore interactive stations that showcase how AI is:

  • Uncovering hidden bat biodiversity
  • Decoding whale communication
  • Monitoring NYC’s urban coyotes
  • Accelerating drug discovery
  • Powering social robots

...and more!

Come take the “magic” out of AI—and discover how it’s shaping science and society.

Recommended for ages five and up.

This event is funded by NSF Project # 2049022 in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the National Science Foundation.
