A new debate arises in the art world over the use of AI in authentication, with technology now seen as an ally of traditional experts rather than a foe. AI has shown remarkable capabilities in analyzing and authenticating artworks, challenging the traditional authority of connoisseurs. This partnership threatens to upend established reputations while enhancing reliability in attribution. The case of Rembrandt's The Polish Rider illustrated how AI's findings align with expert opinions, reinforcing its role as an effective tool in the art sector for addressing issues of authenticity.
AI is taking a starring role as hero in art authentication, adding a powerful weapon to experts' arsenal against forgeries and misattributions.
An algorithm can determine the authorship of artwork with statistical probability, disrupting the traditional hierarchy of subjective expertise in art history.
Just as x-rays and carbon dating decades ago did not replace connoisseurs, AI will assist rather than displace traditional art historians in authentication.
The AI analysis of Rembrandt’s The Polish Rider precisely matched connoisseurs' conclusions about the painting's authorship, demonstrating AI's capability in recognizing artistic styles.
