Smith Professor in the Liberal Arts and chair of Art History; and Michael Hinczewski, the Warren E. Rupp Associate Professor of Physics—discussed their groundbreaking research using tools of artificial intelligence (AI) to distinguish the individual brushstrokes of one painter from another, a breakthrough that one observer said could mark “the dawn of a revolution in attribution” among art connoisseurs and historians.
