Description
As AI art gets more and more sophisticated, how do we tell the difference between a portrait that’s created by a human being – with a soul – and art that’s created by a complex algorithm? And if we can’t tell the difference, will artists be out of a job?
Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy explains how AI art works, and why he thinks code can actually help artists to expand their creative universe.
But there’s one big question that remains: What does AI art tell us about the inner world of AI itself?
See the portraits we discussed:
Edmond de Belamy, published by Obvious Art
The Next Rembrandt, brainchild of Bas Korsten
Kim Sajet, generated by AI
