Digital Preservation Of Cultural Heritage Amid The Artificial Intelligence Revolution: Opportunities And Challenges

Authors : Bey Amel .

Abstract

Abstract: Cultural heritage, in all its types and forms, constitutes a source of pride and dignity for nations. It represents a collective identity and memory that preserves and transmits a nation’s culture, bears witness to its emergence, indicates its achievements, and serves as a link between generations. Amid contemporary technological developments and the rapid transformations experienced by the cultural sector as a natural response to changes in the digital environment, cultural heritage has shifted from static holdings to interactive platforms for participation in the public sphere through the services provided by artificial intelligence, such as virtual and augmented reality, virtual restoration, restoration of images and mosaics, and natural language processing for translating and analyzing historical texts and detecting artistic forgery. All these functions enabled by artificial intelligence in the service of cultural heritage are capable of contributing effectively to its preservation and sustainability, as the qualitative transformation they have produced in terms of speed, quality, abundance, flexibility, convenience, and enjoyment cannot be ignored.
