aceResearchers Are Using AI to Help Find Art Looted by the Nazis. Here's How It Works.
The tool can search scattered archives for clues, but experts still have to verify any possible restitution claims.
Researchers are using an AI tool that can search scattered archives for clues to help locate art looted by the Nazis.
AI-generated clues alone do not establish restitution, because experts still have to verify any possible restitution claims.
The tool does not by itself resolve restitution; expert verification remains necessary for any possible claims.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0748 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
