Abstract:
Over the past couple of years, there has been increasing interest in
applying the latest advances in machine learning to creative projects
in art and design. From DeepDream and style transfer to a
GAN-generated painting selling for $430,000 at auction, AI art has
moved beyond the world of research and academia and become a trend in
its own right. Meanwhile, the contemporary art world's fascination
with the social impact of facial recognition, recommendation systems
and deep fakes has encouraged artists to explore AI critically as
subject matter. This talk will give an overview of how artists and
technologists are using and thinking about machine learning, its
creative potential and societal impact.
