Article:
What is the deal between a highly admired painting and AI? Read this article by Mike Hobday, CEO of IDP vendor AntWorks, as he makes an interesting comparison between art and AI, explaining that context is just as important for understanding a painting as it is for AI to understand unstructured documents. In this regard, Mike Hobday argues that it’s not much different than what an art historian does with paintings (in this case, ‘The Ambassadors’ by Hans Holbein the Younger), i.e., deciphering images to get to the core of the meaning and presenting it in a coherent form for a reader, and what a knowledgeable business user does with unstructured data to train AI to then understand the context and extract the relevant data.
