Saudi museum turns heritage into an AI playground

RIYADH: Picture a 12-year-old sitting in a gallery at the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, sketching on a tablet. Behind her is a prehistoric rock carving from Najran, etched into sandstone thousands of years ago. On her screen, an AI tool generates variations of a character she has drawn, refining the design in real time. She is not in a coding boot camp or computer lab. She is in a museum — an unexpected setting for young people to learn about artificial intelligence. The program, titled “Tac-Tech: Your Game,” held its fourth edition from July 11 to Aug.
