Inaugural Harry Lustig Lecture

Can AI Be the Next Picasso?

AIs are already creating works that we recognize as art But does this make them truly artists? Can AIs possess the attributes of living beings even though they are alien life forms? If and when this is the case, their intelligence will no longer be ‘ but as real as ours In my talk I will focus on the exciting art, literature and music already being created by artificial neural networks and consider the key issue of whether machines can be creative like us.
