Researchers use AI to unearth a new work by the Shakespeare of Spain
I’m back from hiatus. The film project I was working on is coming soon, and it seems couldn’t be more topical.
Meanwhile the world continues to be full of interesting things, many of them involving AI’s furious pace of innovation. Even those less interested in tech should be paying attention. Just this week, I saw that AI had identified a new play by Lope de Vega, master of Spain’s Golden Age, after four centuries lingering in obscurity. La Francesca Laura was found when a cache of anonymous manuscripts was first transcribed with the help of AI and then analysed with the help of AI to identify any distinctive authorial styles.
An age of wonders. More coming soon.
