Freeing Us from Our Own Minds – Artificial Intelligence (AI)
As a news journalist can you imagine yourself sitting in front of your device or computer with another entity churning out for you (yes, not a human like you) ; the repetitive tasks of writing news bulletins to be entered into a digitalised system; while you continue to focus on the more cognitive task of ‘smelling for news’ so to speak.
The increasing presence of artificial intelligence in creative arts, music and fashion means AI can also be as creative as us.
According to a team of researchers, academics, tech nerds and engineers, AI can now even do cognitive or ‘thinking’ type of tasks. And what could that mean for us humans?
Oliver Bown is Associate Professor in Art & Design at the University of NSW and sheds light on how far AI has crept into our creative lives.
He is chairing a 2-day symposium bringing technologists, artists, arts organisations, researchers and business; to go deeper into the applications of AI in the creative industries.
