France's Versailles Unveils AI-Powered Talking Statues
- On late Monday, the Palace of Versailles revealed a new collaboration with OpenAI from the United States and the Paris-based AI company Ask Mona to develop AI chatbots that enable conversations with its garden statues.
- The partnership aims to bring a modern AI touch that allows visitors to converse interactively with about 20 garden statues via QR codes, replacing traditional audio guides.
- Visitors can access conversations in French, English, or Spanish, and statues respond with phrases reflecting their symbolism, such as Apollo guiding the sun and representing power and renewal.
- Christophe Leribault, president of the museum, stated that artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly enhance the experience for the palace’s nearly eight million visitors each year.
- This AI initiative showcases lesser explored applications of artificial intelligence and suggests a new interactive way to engage museum visitors by leveraging cutting-edge technology.
