A world-renowned art museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing its treasures with the world, not only within its walls but also through its digital presence. In an effort to extend its reach and inclusivity for individuals with visual impairments, the museum partnered with Valorem Reply to embrace innovative technology like artificial intelligence to enhance online accessibility. Our team built a proof-of-concept web application that uses Azure OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo Vision models to generate accessible descriptors for their artworks. The app allows users to go through multiple artworks and review the accessible descriptors that have been generated by AI. With this new AI application, the museum can offer a more inclusive and immersive experience for its online visitors, strengthening their mission to connect people, art and history.

Our collaboration with this museum demonstrates the potential of AI to enhance the experience of art for the blind and low-vision community, allowing them to connect with art in ways that were previously unimaginable.

- Ryan McCamy, VP of Tech for Social Impact, Valorem Reply
