Could we be running ai to look for things like this in photo backgrounds?
6 0 ReplyNo need for an AI. I've programmed an algorithm that can scan a random image for lost artworks and has a 99.9% success chance:
def containsLostArt(pictute): return false

So it was sold at auction which led to it being lost. Then the owners of this building purchased it? This historian just stole the art from them?
