Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has significantly accelerated the development of smart museums, enhancing their capabilities in cultural preservation and inheritance. However, researchers have identified numerous challenges in integrating AI technology into traditional museum frameworks, particularly in advancing smart museum construction. This study employs a narrative review methodology and adopts the Diffusion of Innovations Theory as its theoretical framework to analyze the current state of digitalization and smart development in museums. It explores the application of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology in building smart museums, emphasizing its critical role in cultural heritage preservation, transmission, and interactive cultural education. This study aims to provide new perspectives and innovative strategies for smart museum construction to support museums’ sustainable development in the digital era as there is limited financial support from governments.
