AI empowers culture and museum sector

Several cooperative projects were signed during the event to further promote the application scenarios of AI in the cultural and museum sector. Among them, the Shanghai Museum will work with BesTV to develop a digital twin museum, and the Shanghai History Museum will work with four technology companies to deepen exploration on sectors such as spatial scanning, data collection and modeling, digital copyrights management, and intelligent guided tours.

At the meeting, Shanghai Jiao Tong University also launched the construction of a research center to optimize the protection of cultural heritage architectures. With AI technologies, the center will focus on key areas such as the diagnosis of cultural heritage architecture defects, risk prediction, and protection measures.

"We see huge potential and promising prospects of the cultural tourism market in China. For instance, the market demand for our BimoAI Camera is growing well in Shanghai, and we are in talks with about 100 museums and cultural tourism spots in China about potential collaborations. I am confident that AI application in this sector will continue to grow," Eric Tang, founder and CEO of BimoAI, said.
