The ingenious sci-fi film of "Museum of the Museum" makes the audience feel the shock of the "resurrection" of cultural relics. In the current era, if museums want to continue to maintain or even increase their appeal, it is clear that they need to work hard on technology applications. It is not impossible to "resurrection" cultural relics, and artificial intelligence technology is expected to be realized.

With the in-depth application of artificial intelligence technology in education, finance, medical care, transportation, security and many other fields, this technology has attracted more and more attention from all countries and all walks of life in the world. Experts believe that the use of artificial intelligence technology in modern museums will become a natural thing. The American Museum League also said that artificial intelligence would be one of the main trends in the field.
 
In some museums, artificial intelligence technology applications have been demonstrated. For example, at the National Museum of American History, there is an exhibition called “National Defense Innovation” that demonstrates the protection of cybersecurity by artificial intelligence network defense systems. In other museums around the world, the presence of artificial intelligence is growing stronger.
 
In China, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Internet giant Baidu reached an important cooperation, and jointly released the first phase of the "Inheritance of Civilization with Technology: AI Museum Project", and launched a digital cultural map carrying 2,894 museum information. It is reported that the AI Museum plans to take the lead in the Xi'an Qin Shi Emperor's Mausoleum Museum, Suzhou Museum and Shanghai History Museum, including intelligent search, smart map, AI display, AI education and other functional modules will be displayed in front of the audience.
 
Empowering museums with artificial intelligence is not only a revolution in the way traditional representations of historical artifacts are presented, but also to further protect the original data of cultural relics archives. At present, the amount of cultural relics is far from the amount of data generated in daily life, and the museum's own data is also affected by factors such as development level and confidentiality, which makes it difficult to build a large database of cultural relics.
 
Therefore, by applying a new generation of information technology, it is expected that there will be different “chemical reactions” between museums and visitors, and artificial intelligence will bring three aspects to the transformation and upgrading of the museum:
 
The first is to help the digital management of the museum. With the increasing number of archives and materials in the museum, artificial intelligence can track and analyze massive information, which is very important for modern museums. Experts also believe that artificial intelligence will be an important tool for the management of massive data in museums in the 21st century.
 
The second is to provide better services to the audience. Artificial intelligence can not only help museums analyze archival data, but also analyze audience data to make appropriate adjustments to relevant management and service arrangements. At the same time, the audience can also use the help of artificial intelligence to plan travel plans, book flights or tickets, etc., to better control the time.
 
The third is to bring a new experience to the audience. At present, many museums have introduced VR/AR, robotics, voice interaction and other technologies to restore the past and present life of the collection treasures, providing viewers with a different interpretation service experience. In particular, the application of robotic lecturers is becoming more and more popular and has been widely recognized by the audience.
 
Will the emergence of robotic commentators have an impact on the work opportunities of human lecturers? In this regard, the museum staff said that with the development of the social economy, people have shown an increasingly strong demand for visiting museums, and many museums have encountered great challenges in their reception capacity. The application of the robotic interpreter is for the convenience of the audience, but it does not completely replace the human interpreter. In many major exhibition areas, or in the face of personalized questions, human instructors still need to interact and communicate with the audience. Therefore, the relationship between the two is complementary, not a substitute.
 
The museum carries the essence of human history, culture, art and so on, and the application of artificial intelligence technology can make people feel the fascination of the museum more truly. It is reported that artificial intelligence technology can also help museums to recover and reproduce some damaged cultural relics. Virtual reality technology can even make the disappeared cultural relics "return to life." In the future, the integration between artificial intelligence and museums will deepen and collide with more exciting stories.
