Artificial Intelligency, Big Data and Cultural Heritage

Abstract

In recent decades, the cultural heritage sector has benefited from solutions offered by ICT for the conservation, management, enhancement and communication of cultural heritage; today this specific sector benefits from the infinite potential of application of AI. The proposed research identifies the three main lines of research that operate in the cultural heritage exploiting the synergy between machine learning, big data and AI, starting from the analysis of the state of the art and a subsequent first taxonomic approximation of artificial intelligence systems. The analysis of some case studies developed in the field of recovery and restoration of cultural heritage, monitoring and prevention of damage, data acquisition and analysis of the same, confirm the real potential of AI: trigger knowledge from knowledge.

“…Moving beyond personalized engagement, the realm of knowledge discovery and advanced data management has also witnessed remarkable progress. Researchers such as Buratti et al [74] and Abbattista et al [75] have underscored the power of AI to trigger knowledge and implement advanced methods for information management. This revelation leads to the recommendation of employing the sophisticated data analysis techniques of LLMs, offering the potential to curate, interpret, and present complex cultural data in accessible formats.…”
