AI-Powered Art Restoration: 600-Year-Old Painting Restored in 3.5 Hours
2025-06-15
MIT researchers have developed a new method using AI and 3D printing to apply digital restorations directly to original paintings. This method automatically identifies and repairs thousands of damaged areas, 66 times faster than traditional methods. A 15th-century painting, traditionally requiring years to restore, was completed in 3.5 hours. While ethical considerations exist, this technology promises to accelerate the restoration of numerous damaged artworks, bringing more art to the public eye.
