Palace of Versailles rolls out AI-powered talking statues as new audio guides
France’s Palace of Versailles just added a high-tech twist to its visitor experience. Instead of traditional audio guides, guests can now chat with talking statues powered by AI.
The project uses artificial intelligence to bring the palace’s history and art to life through interactive conversations with iconic statues. 
The update aims to modernize tours and engage visitors differently. The statues answer questions and narrate stories, adding a fresh layer to exploring the famous landmark.
This tech rollout is part of a collaboration linking heritage with AI, though how visitors will react to replacing classic audio guides remains to be seen.
