THE FUTURE IS HERE

ARTificial Intelligence: When Machines Create

Arts are thought to be one of the last strongholds of human creativity that no machine can ever successfully imitate or supersede. However, in 2020, music and images created by artificial intelligence are no longer a prophecy – they are already developing, fully commercialized and available to the public. With the flourishing of artistic technology comes concerns from its audience: Are human artists going to be replaced by robots? What’s the future of creative arts like? How should we assign authorship to AI-generated art and music? Join us on December 3rd, 8-9PM EST in a discussion on how AI is coded to learn composing music and creating artistic designs, the ethics of its current practice, and how it will impact the creative arts landscape in the future.
