Can AI explain oversized Stone Age tools?
Jeongok Prehistory Museum presents the small exhibition AI Wrong Answers (AI 오답노트) from September 29 to November 1, 2026 in the corner in front of its first-floor permanent exhibition hall in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province. Admission is free. Curated by Kim So-young, it documents the process of using AI to infer the purpose of an unusually large stone tool discovered at Jeongok, recognizing mistaken answers and correcting them.
What to look for
- Observation and hypotheses: consider possible uses of the oversized archaeological tool before looking at proposed explanations.
- AI's limitations: see how an AI-generated guess must be checked against the object and its archaeological context, rather than treated as historical proof.
- Small interactive format: the official description includes AI-assisted quiz games, spoken dialogue and short-form video clips. It does not independently guarantee that each device is running at all times.
- Part of a larger exhibition: the display accompanies the museum's 15th-anniversary exhibition *The Ground Beneath the Ground: Jeongok*. They are separate displays; *AI Wrong Answers* occupies the first-floor corner.
