During a news conference on the launch, a platform called the Ji Jin Shi Bian: Intelligent Dating and Classification of Bronzeware app was unveiled.

The app is one of the achievements of the key laboratory and was jointly completed by Professor Li Chuntao from the College of Archaeology and Associate Professor Yang Xi from the College of Artificial Intelligence at Jilin University.

It's the first time that AI technology has been introduced in the field of bronze research and it's said to represent a significant breakthrough in interdisciplinary research.

This has revolutionized things, in that previously the dating of bronzeware could only be done by a few experts based on their experience.

It is said to not only help ordinary users understand and appreciate bronzeware, but also facilitate more efficient and convenient research. Additionally, it can serve as a valuable reference and teaching aid in educational activities.
