AI empowers culture and museum sector


Working with Chinese artificial intelligence company SenseTime, a Fourier humanoid robot was demonstrated at the meeting to offer audiences a guided tour at the Shanghai History Museum. Xinke Animation Co Ltd set up an immersive space with virtual reality on site to take visitors on an expedition into the mysterious Xixia Imperial Tombs. BimoAI also showcased an interactive terminal named "BimoAI Camera" at the meeting, which allows visitors at museums and tourist spots to get customized AIGC photos and newspapers instantly.
"Artificial intelligence has not only enhanced the interactivity and engagement of the audience experience, but also optimized the management of cultural institutions and cultural relic protection. Museums are also evolving from traditional exhibition spaces into vibrant interactive venues, and AI is becoming a 'super translator' for telling the stories of Shanghai and China," Xiang Yihai, deputy director-general of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage, said at the meeting.
