Recognition. Notably, a crucial difference emerged in the datasets used to train the respective AI systems. While the Bradford group's AI was trained using 49 images, Art Recognition utilized a substantially larger dataset of over 100 images. This difference in the size and composition of the training datasets underscored the significant impact that data selection has on the outcomes of AI-driven art analysis.
