EXCLUSIVE: President Theodore Roosevelt is known for revolutionizing how America manages and explores. Now, revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) technology will allow Americans to engage with the legendary president one century after he left office, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News Digital.
While Roosevelt was famously brought to life on the big screen by the late Robin Williams in "Night At The Museum," Burgum said the Interior Department envisioned a slightly different iteration of bringing the president back to life.
Roosevelt will be rendered in a groundbreaking AI exhibit in the form of a human-avatar that will respond intelligently to visitor’s questions at his namesake national park, Theodore Roosevelt National Park on the North Dakota-Montana line.

The exhibit will have its grand opening during the Freedom250 celebration aligned with America's 250th birthday, Burgum told Fox News Digital.
Freedom250 is a national nonpartisan organization and program launched by President Donald Trump to lead the president's signature events, such as a Great American State Fair, Patriot Games, National Prayer Event and the Interior Department's new AI presentation.
The new site is "one of the biggest things" that the Interior Department is planning for the new year, the former North Dakota governor said.
"That will occur over our Fourth of July weekend," he said.
The exhibit will be housed at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Burgum noted that Roosevelt authored more books than any other president, and offered more spoken-word than any other president except Trump.

Roosevelt came to the "Dakota Territory" in 1883 to hunt bison, and today the lands within his namesake part don’t look much different than they did then. Besides miles of breathtaking landscape, the park explores Roosevelt’s ranch life, conflicts with and cultures of local Native American tribes, and the cattle-ranch boom of the 1880s.
Many of the animal trophies netted by Roosevelt later ended up festooned in the Old Ebbitt Grill, a famous Washington, D.C., saloon near the White House.
