Chief Digital Officer / Anchorage Museum
Cloud and AI,
adopted securely.
I'm Doug Adams. For eighteen years I've run technology end to end for Alaska's largest museum — strategy, security, infrastructure, AI. The parts you never hear about.
01 / The Work
Three disciplines,
one owner.
Transformation
Legacy to cloud, for institutions that can't afford drama.
Security
The program nobody notices is the design goal.
Responsible AI
Governance first, capability second — in that order.
02 / Selected Work
A few things
I've built.
- Visitor Insights A building that understands how people move through it. In production
- The Backlog About 500 hours of accumulated work, cleared in four weeks — a human approving every step. In production
- The Private AI Decades of institutional records, answerable in plain language — on hardware that never leaves the building. Pilot
- The Policy The AI rules, written before the AI rollout — because that's the correct order. In progress
03 / The Record
Three dates I'll
explain in person.
-
2018
An earthquake.
-
2020
Two business days.
-
2024
Zero minutes of downtime.
04 / The Lab
Nights, weekends,
my own machines.
- AI Composition Studio An AI staff that writes. A human who approves everything. Visit (opens in new tab)
- Data Center Wonderland The physical side of AI: 180+ data centers, mapped with their estimated power and water. Visit (opens in new tab)
- Analogue TV A CRT — live channels, dead channels, and a dial. Visit (opens in new tab)
- The Anomaly A website that serves no purpose. Follow the rabbit. Visit (opens in new tab)
05 / Start a Conversation
Bring me the
interesting problem.
The full story is a conversation, not a webpage. Open to speaking, advisory, and executive conversations with mission-driven institutions.
