At the International Symposium on Cultural Heritage Conservation by Digitization in Beijing, experts spotlighted artificial intelligence as a game-changer for preserving humanity’s shared history. Mario Santana Quintero, honorary president of the International Committee for Documentation of Cultural Heritage (CIPA), told CGTN that AI could \"unlock unprecedented precision\" in digitizing ancient sites, artifacts, and traditions at risk of fading away.
From creating 3D models of crumbling monuments to analyzing centuries-old artwork for decay patterns, AI tools offer faster, cheaper, and more scalable solutions. Quintero emphasized that global collaboration is key: \"No single country holds all the answers—this is about teamwork across borders.\"
Younger generations are already leading the charge, with apps using machine learning to virtually reconstruct lost temples or simulate historical events. Could AI become the ultimate time machine? For heritage sites damaged by climate change or conflict, this tech might be their best hope.
