Tate Britain is using artificial intelligence (AI) to compare works from its historic British art collection with the latest news photographs. Recognition, the winning project in the Tate’s Microsoft-sponsored IK Prize, matches paintings with photographs from Reuters based on similarities across four categories: objects, faces, composition and context. The virtual gallery, devised by the communications research centre Fabrica and AI specialists JoliBrain, was awarded £15,000 and a £90,000 development budget. Visitors can judge the results in the gallery and on the Tate’s website until 27 November.
