Art meets AI in Qatar: Curates personalised museum tours and guides visitors in real-time
Qatar Museums has launched the QM AI Art Tour, a groundbreaking digital experience powered by artificial intelligence that offers visitors a personalised journey through Qatar's museums, heritage sites, and public art installations.
This marks the region's first real-world AI art tour and reflects Qatar's growing emphasis on cultural innovation and digital accessibility.
Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), the initiative supports Qatar's Digital Agenda 2030 by integrating cutting-edge technology into the nation's cultural landscape.
How the AI Art Tour Works
Visitors begin the experience by chatting with an AI Art Specialist, who asks questions about their personal preferences and interests.
Based on these inputs, the AI curates a custom route featuring handpicked locations and artworks across Doha, offering a deeply personalised art journey.
The AI assistant remains available throughout the tour to answer questions, share insights, and provide navigation support transforming the entire experience into an interactive, intuitive cultural conversation.
Leaders Highlight Vision for Cultural Technology
Mohammed Al Rumaihi, CEO of Qatar Museums, described the project as a union of tradition and technology.

'By using artificial intelligence to deepen cultural engagement, we are not only increasing accessibility to Qatar's diverse art landscape, but also building meaningful, personal connections between our audiences and the stories we tell through art,' he said in a public statement.
Assistant Undersecretary of Digital Industry Affairs at MCIT, Reem Al Mansoori, noted that AI is no longer just a support tool but a transformative force across sectors.
'We are pleased to collaborate with Qatar Museums on launching the first real-world AI use case as part of our strategic partnership with Scale AI,' she said, referring to a national effort to expand AI-driven solutions across government and semi-government sectors over the next five years.
Part of a Larger Cultural Celebration
The AI Art Tour coincides with the 20th anniversary of Qatar Museums and is a key element of Evolution Nation, an 18-month initiative that celebrates 50 years of Qatar's cultural journey.
Curated by Qatar Creates, the national cultural movement, Evolution Nation aims to position Qatar as a global hub for art, culture, and creativity while recognising the country's longstanding commitment to heritage and innovation.

Landslide disrupts rail ops on line linking Bastar to Odisha
Raipur: Heavy monsoon rains triggered a massive landslide on the Kirandul-Kottavalasa railway line in Odisha on July 1, disrupting rail services and affecting hundreds of passengers across Chhattisgarh and neighbouring states. Over 300 railway workers have been working around the clock for the past three days to clear the debris, but the track remains partially blocked. The landslide occurred between Malliguda and Jarti stations on the Koraput-Kirandul section, a vital link connecting Bastar to Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal. Due to the incident, six trains have been affected so far, with two fully cancelled and four others partially terminated. Landslide Cuts Through Track According to officials, continuous rainfall caused mud and large rocks to collapse onto the railway track. While 60–70% of the debris has been cleared as of Friday morning, full restoration may take another 12 to 24 hours, depending on weather conditions and ground stability. The trains that remain cancelled include Rourkela–Jagdalpur Intercity Express and Jagdalpur–Bhubaneswar Hirakud Express while Visakhapatnam–Kirandul and Kirandul–Visakhapatnam trains will operate only up to Araku, Kirandul–Visakhapatnam and Visakhapatnam–Kirandul Night Express trains will run only till Koraput, Howrah–Jagdalpur Samaleshwari Express will operate till Koraput; cancelled onward Jagdalpur–Puri and Puri–Jagdalpur Rath Yatra Special (July 4–6) will also terminate at Koraput. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo With train services suspended on this route, passengers are forced to rely on road transport to reach destinations in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. However, local travellers report being overcharged by private vehicle operators, leading to frustration and hardship. No Clear Timeline for Restoration Despite the progress, officials have not issued a definitive timeline for when the track will be fully operational. "The rain hasn't let up for the past four days. We're doing everything possible, but the terrain is sensitive, and safety is our top priority," said a railway engineer at the site. This isn't the first time a landslide has disrupted this critical railway corridor. Frequent rain-induced slides during monsoon season continue to pose a major challenge to safe and reliable rail operations in the region.

BTS' Jungkook and aespa's Winter dating rumours spark online ridicule: 'Please take the delusional shipping lenses off'
A recent post on the South Korean forum 'Nate Pann' claiming to present 'evidence' of BTS' Jungkook and aespa's Winter dating has ignited all over the area, mocking across the K-pop community. While dating rumours are common in the industry, this particular thread has been called out for its flimsy logic and exaggerated conclusions. The 'evidence' that sparked the debate As reported by Koreaboo, the original post attempted to link Jungkook and Winter through a series of coincidences starting with both the idols allegedly wearing similar in-ear monitors, them being seen sporting the same hat, them reportedly frequenting the same gym, and some fans pointing to matching tattoos and plush toys. However, netizens quickly debunked each claim. One user noted that the in-ear company referenced is the only one in Korea, used by over 3,000 idols, and that Jungkook and Winter even use different models. Regarding the hat, it was identified as a 2021 sold-out series worn by many celebrities, with Winter only using it once for a photoshoot. Netizens react: 'This Is Delusional.' The backlash was swift and sharp. Comments on the forum and social media included: 'Are they the only two celebrities with tattoos?' 'Jungkook went to the gym because he followed a member's older brother there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Nogales (ver precio) Verisure Alarmas Más información Undo Loads of celebrities go to that gym.' 'Even during military leave, Jungkook gets stalked by sasaengs. If there was even one real connection, a pic would've leaked ages ago.' Some users accused the original poster of being a 'Winter anti' and criticised the repeated attempts to link the two idols without credible proof. Others pointed out that Jungkook attending aespa's concert alongside many other celebrities was not unusual and certainly not romantic evidence. Privacy and fan culture The incident has reignited conversations about idol privacy, fan shipping culture, and the dangers of speculative narratives. Both Jungkook and Winter are known to be intensely private, and fans expressed concern over the obsessive behaviour that often surrounds such rumours. As one netizen put it, 'Seriously, can we all just live our own lives? Why do you freak out so much when international fans start shipping them?'

"Unfortunately, the highs and lows of living with diabetes since I've been 6 years old occasionally just kick my butt," he added, reported People.
