Course Overview

Webinar Overview

Abstract

Recent developments of GenerativeAI algorithms attracted a lot of media frenzy. The capabilities of GenerativeAI tools have grown exponentially in the past years and months causing concerns amongst researchers, scientists and the general public about how this technology can potentially be used in various industries and, especially, to produce realistically-looking (but factually ‘fake’) representations of reality. In this talk, we will specifically discuss how AI-generated images, videos or text may affect the future of artistic and creative industries. We will attempt to explore and answer questions such as:

  • Should artists be afraid of AI or can they actually benefit from it?
  • Can AI help people discover their artistic potential by using GenerativeAI as a prototyping tool?
  • How to spot a ‘fake’ AI-generated art?
  • Can AI-generated art co-exist with art created by humans?
  • What is the value of an AI-generated art?

Simon Walkowiak

The webinar will be run and moderated by Simon Walkowiak – director at Mind Project Limited and a Ph.D. researcher in Artificial Intelligence at the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (University College London) and the Alan Turing Institute in London.
