An artificial intelligence-driven documentary, 'Back to the Past', premiered at the Indian Museum in Kolkata on Tuesday. The film uses AI and advanced visual effects to recreate historical moments and forgotten traditions, targeting younger audiences with immersive digital storytelling. Developed by Brainware University in collaboration with the Indian Museum, the project combines archival research with AI-generated visual reconstruction and narration. Indian Museum director Sayan Bhattacharya called the project a renaissance in the field of history and museums. Organisers believe AI-driven documentaries could open new possibilities for heritage education and communication in institutions across India. The event was attended by scholars, students, and museum professionals who praised the integration of technology with heritage preservation.
