Help curious beginners build a useful mental model of AI: where it came from, how today’s systems work, where they fail, and which habits make their use safer.
What AI Museum is
The museum is a single-player educational game with five historical eras, interleaved challenge rooms, 15 collectible objects, quizzes, puzzles, a knowledge maze, and action sequences tied to AI safety lessons. It is available in English, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Italian, and German.
Editorial method
- Start with the distinction that matters: the guides separate training data, model architecture, learned weights, runtime software, and user-facing applications.
- Prefer primary and institutional sources: landmark papers, original institutions, NIST, and UNESCO are linked directly where they support a topic.
- Avoid capability hype: specialized systems are not described as general intelligence, and fluent output is not treated as verified truth.
- Make uncertainty visible: AI changes quickly. Every guide shows its review date, and readers should check live primary sources for high-stakes or fast-changing details.
- Correct openly: visitors can use the feedback control inside the game to report an error, broken interaction, or improvement idea.
Authorship and AI use
AI Museum was created by Cyril Dieumegard. The exhibits and learning pages are authored and edited educational content. The project teaches generative AI, but it does not require a chatbot to play and does not present generated responses as museum facts.
Privacy
The game stores progress and preferences locally on the visitor’s device. Optional analytics are consent-based. Feedback is sent only when a visitor chooses to submit it. The in-game privacy panel explains the collected fields and lets visitors change their analytics choice.
Limits
This is an educational introduction, not a complete academic history and not professional medical, legal, financial, or safety advice. Source links can change, and fast-moving technical details may become outdated. Important decisions should always rely on current qualified guidance and original evidence.
Questions about the project

Yes. The game and public learning guides are free, with no account required.
