Researchers say a new AI chat bot could make it easier for authorities to track down works of art stolen by the Nazis during World War II. And PR's Chloe Veltman reports it roughly a fifth other more than 600,000 stolen works
have yet to be reclaimed. The goal of Santa Clara Universities, AI Providence Assistant, is to allow users to conduct research across many disparate databases around the world that contain records about art, stolen by Nazis. Business School Professor Michael Santoro helped develop it.
