Kimiko Matsumura (Rutgers Art History PhD 2019, assistant professor at Lake Forest College) won a Fellowship from Lake Forest to explore AI in teaching. Her project explores the strengths and weaknesses of AI as an art historical collaborator in object research and curatorial practice. Applying computer vision to artworks in the Lake Forest College collection, the study seeks to reveal how LLMs interpret novel or lesser-known objects compared to canonical examples, its current biases, and the utility of this practice for future scholarly and professional use.
