WHAT AI CONTRIBUTES TO OUR EXPERTISE

At Kahlo Experts, Artificial Intelligence is employed as a specialized analytical instrument, not as a decision-maker. It strengthens our authentication and valuation work by accelerating specific forms of analysis, while all judgment, interpretation, and conclusions remain in human hands.

AI allows us to work faster and more thoroughly—but it never replaces expertise grounded in scholarship, connoisseurship, and direct experience with Frida Kahlo’s work.

We apply AI technology exclusively to tasks that are objective, measurable, and verifiable.

Digital Research and Data Discovery

When relevant documentation, references, or comparative material exists online, AI can locate, organize, and structure that information almost instantly. What might take weeks of manual searching can often be identified in a fraction of the time, allowing our specialists to begin their work with a broader and more complete evidentiary foundation.

Analytical Measurement and Comparison

AI excels at evaluating quantifiable elements—such as proportional relationships, visual structures, color distribution, and recurring formal features—making it possible to conduct precise comparisons across large datasets.

Our experts concentrate on the uniquely human aspects of Kahlo authentication: artistic intent, symbolism, biographical relevance, material nuance, historical context, and informed connoisseurship.

Where Human Expertise Is Irreplaceable

Much of the most important knowledge surrounding Frida Kahlo’s work exists outside the digital realm—in museum archives, private collections, correspondence, unpublished records, and physical documentation. These sources remain inaccessible to AI.

For this reason, our researchers continue traditional investigative work: examining archival materials, assessing provenance, reviewing conservation histories, and evaluating physical characteristics directly.

We never allow AI to speculate or form opinions. Artificial systems cannot interpret meaning, assess significance, or exercise judgment.

Expert Review and Final Determinations

All AI-generated findings are reviewed, tested, and interpreted by qualified specialists. AI contributes supporting information—patterns, correlations, and measurements—but it never determines authenticity

Every authentication decision is reached through expert consensus, informed by:

• Physical and visual analysis
• Art-historical research
• Provenance evaluation
• Comparative study
• Verified documentation

When we certify a work, it is not because a system has calculated a likelihood. It is because our experts have reached a definitive conclusion supported by verifiable evidence

Artificial Intelligence is an integral part of our multidisciplinary methodology. For this reason, we do not charge separately for AI services.
