Is Artificial Intelligence a Help or Hindrance to Photo Restoration and Research?

AI is revolutionizing photography, but is it truly beneficial? In this talk, I’ll explore AI’s role in restoring old photos—highlighting its flaws—and contrast it with its powerful potential for historical research. Join me to discuss whether AI is a tool or a troublemaker in photo restoration.
