Microsoft will unveil an AI-enhanced project for St. Peter's Basilica in November 2024. This collaboration with the Fabric of St. Peter is part of Microsoft's AI for Cultural Heritage programme, which has developed similar projects for other cultural sites. The unveiling will take place at the Vatican.

The implementation of AI technologies at St. Peter's Basilica could enhance visitor engagement through interactive experiences, potentially increasing revenue from tourism and associated services.

If successful, this project may serve as a blueprint for other historical sites looking to integrate technology, leading to a wider industry shift towards AI applications in heritage tourism.
