About me
Anthony Bourached is Associate Professor of Machine Learning & Creative AI in UCL's Department of Culture, Media & Communication and a member of the UCL Centre for Artificial Intelligence. His work combines state-of-the-art generative models with art-historical inquiry to reveal new layers of meaning in cultural artefacts—from resurrecting lost Van Goghs and Picassos to creating interactive portraits exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery and the Louvre.
"Art is humanity's densest reservoir of cultural information. Decoding it demands the most complex tool we have—artificial intelligence. To paraphrase Turing: 'only a complex model can solve a complex problem.'"
— BBC World News
His research has been covered by CNN, MIT Tech Review, Times Radio, and others, and underpins clinical, museological, and creative applications worldwide.
Anthony co-founded the AI art collective Oxia Palus in 2019, which has consitently gained international acclaim for reconstructing lost masterpieces using neural networks and is named in the Top 10 AI Stories of 2019, by NVIDIA.
Anthony holds a PhD in Machine Learning and Neuroscience from UCL (with visiting research at Harvard), an MSc in Machine Learning from UCL, an MSc in High Performance Computing from the University of Edinburgh, and a BA in Theoretical Physics from Trinity College Dublin.
