Beijing, Apr 7 (UNI) Chinese sci-tech museums have now adopted AI powered assistants to enhance visitor experience.
As per Xinhua, the China Science and Technology Museum (CSTM) on April 6, stated that it had so far assisted 13 provincial sci-tech museums in deploying AI powered assistants to enhance visitor experience, marking a step forward in AI-driven exhibition for sci-tech museums nationwide.
The CSTM launched the country’s first AI-powered museum assistant in November 2024, combining popular science knowledge with large-model technology. The smart assistant not only provides on-site guidance and information but also answers scientific queries for young learners remotely, showcasing AI’s potential in educational settings.
Since March 2025, the CSTM has expanded the initiative, training technical teams from the aforementioned 13 provincial museums through workshops. Participants have built customised knowledge bases and deployed AI assistants tailored to their venues.
A CSTM spokesperson highlighted that as technology advances and more museums join, the AI ecosystem will diversify, creating a smart, ubiquitous network of assistants for multiple applications.
