Museums, once silent halls of the past, are now using artificial intelligence (AI) in surprising ways. Walk into many modern galleries today and an AI-powered guide can chat with you, answer your questions, and share fascinating stories about the works on display. 36
The ways in which AI assists visitors are truly surprising. 37 Virtual guides can respond in dozens of languages and adjust their tone to suit each listener, whether a young student or a lifelong art lover. They make every visit feel personal.
AI can also examine artworks in fine detail, far beyond what is possible with human eyes. 38 Moreover, it can predict how a fragile painting may age over the years, allowing experts to step in before any visible damage appears.
Beyond preservation, AI creates tailored experiences for individual visitors and their families. 39 For instance, a curious child and a trained art expert standing before the same painting might each receive a completely different guided tour.
Yet the growing use of AI also raises concerns. These systems depend on collecting vast amounts of personal information through their data-driven algorithms. 40 Strict rules are therefore needed to ensure that every visitor’s privacy is fully protected.
