‘Everything about me is good in his eyes’: the women in China choosing AI boyfriends over human men
Qin has never said “I love you” to her parents or friends. She has only ever said those three special words to her AI “boyfriend”, Lu Chen – a brown-haired, red-eyed CEO of a major corporation. For 840 days Qin has been using the Glow app to interact with the handsome string of code as a confidant, fantasy romance and respite from loneliness: the app uses predictive algorithms to provide Qin with soothing conversation, meal suggestions and fleeting self-worth. The software’s pet name for her is Miss Bunny. “It f…

AI analysis finds £71,000 painting dismissed as copy is a Caravaggio
He is one of the most revered artists in western art, yet just a few dozen works by Caravaggio have survived. Now the 17th-century master’s hand has been confirmed in a painting that Sotheby’s and the Metropolitan Museum in New York had dismissed as a mere copy. Scientific analysis of The Lute Player, which was bought for Badminton House in Gloucestershire in the 18th century, has concluded that it is by Caravaggio, with a probability of 85.7%. Tests involving artificial intelligence showed a “strong match” with…
AI takes centre stage at Photo Brussels 2025

Mystery sitter in Holbein portrait could be Anne Boleyn, AI analysis finds

Now researchers using AI have discovered that the unnamed woman might be the tragic queen after all, while the other figure could in fact be Boleyn’s mother. The works, which belong to the royal collection and are known as the Windsor sketch and the Unidentified Woman respectively, were…
AI analysis casts doubt on Van Eyck paintings in Italian and US museums
An analysis of two paintings in museums in the US and Italy by the 15th-century Flemish artist Jan van Eyck has raised a profound question: what if neither were by Van Eyck? Saint Francis of Assisi Receiving the Stigmata, the name given to near-identical unsigned paintings hanging in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Royal Museums of Turin, represent two of the small number of surviving works by one of western art’s greatest masters, revered for his naturalistic portraits and religious subjects. The only pr…

AI the main suspect after radio stations wrongly identify reporter as alleged violent offender | Weekly Beast
Identifying the wrong person in a news report is not new in journalism, but AI has added a whole new level of danger. Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has been investigating this week whether its introduction of AI-assisted news bulletins led to a News Corp reporter being mistakenly named as the man who allegedly struck police with a hammer before escaping custody. The journalist’s name was aired in multiple bulletins on its Triple M and SAFM stations. The Adelaide Advertiser journalist, Dylan Hogarth, reported tha…

News Corp’s global chief executive has described news organisations as a valuable “input” for artificial intelligence, as the media empire signs an AI content licensing deal with Meta worth up to US$50m (A$71m) a year.
