"these people, places and events come to life, making history engaging to Americans across the country."
"While the project to bring the Founders and the signers of the Declaration of Independence into focus is one that many historians admire and would support,"
"I think there's some concerns about how that's done in this case."
The Founders Museum presents eighty-two paintings, including portraits of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence and scenes from America's founding. The exhibit is located inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House and results from a partnership between White House Task Force 250 and conservative nonprofit PragerU ahead of the semiquincentennial. The museum features over forty AI-generated short videos of historical figures produced by PragerU and available online. The White House states the AI makes history more engaging. Historians express concern that AI portrayals could reshape historical words and narrow representation, risking omission of marginalized voices.
