Could we be running ai to look for things like this in photo backgrounds?
No 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
Only Theoretically
What do you mean by this? I’d say you definitely could, although it would need an expert to sort through the candidates to find the ones with following up on.
AI seems to have hit its limits, but this kind of stuff is what AI is great at.
It’d be too expensive.
Not at all - you’d have to train a model but then it could be run locally. You could even have something like SETI at Home, and run it on volunteers’ computers.
I suppose some social media charges for access and it might not be a good idea to scrape for something like this (or at least admit it).
Yeah lemme just download many petabytes a month of data on my home Internet connection
In a world where you can stream 4k video, you think a few images are going to be a problem?
A few billion images yes
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?
