The Palace of Versailles has partnered with OpenAI and Ask Mona to introduce talking statues that engage visitors in conversation. By scanning QR codes next to 20 garden statues, visitors can interact with the statues in multiple languages. This initiative aims to enhance the visitor experience, allowing for a deeper exploration of the palace's history. Museum president Christophe Leribault emphasized the potential of AI to enrich engagement, while both technology firms view this as a unique opportunity to demonstrate AI's capabilities in a historical context.
"The Palace of Versailles is now testing artificial intelligence, whose tremendous capabilities will greatly enrich the visitor experience," said the museum's president, Christophe Leribault.
"Whether you're a heritage expert, a museum curator, or a visitor setting foot in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles for the first time, there's something for everyone," said Julie Lavet, OpenAI's head of European partnerships.
"Often, when we think of artificial intelligence, we think of it in terms of productivity, but here, it's really artificial intelligence that is a lever for curiosity," said Marion Carre.
