ah, artificial intelligence has taken the creative world by storm making things possible that artists could previously only dream of fin much install wasn't got them. and if machines are smarter than humans, the machine has the power. do we want to give the machines the power to control us because i don't think so. once all these all will algorithms will be doing the work of creative? well artists become redundant. yeah, i think they are replacing artist, but i don't think it necessarily bathroom where some see a great opportunity. others see an acute danger. i can be good and can be bad. like every technology which drones you can kill or you can amazed people. and it's, it's our choice. what we do it is
6:03 am
i at the 2022 venus be an ali ada caused quite a stir. she's the 1st humanoid robot to make her own art. with the help of artificial intelligence, her inventor, a british gallery director aden mellor developed her with a team of computer scientists, robotics experts and designers. ada perceives the environment through cameras in her eyes, algorithms process the information and provide impulses for drawing. the robot then single handedly determines her creative output without any human intervention. is law, there was mention and mm hm. i think what fundamentally interested people about robotics and artificial intelligence is that it's like a replica of themselves. it has something akin to a divine function, good to hear from men and creating intelligence where i'm creating another human
6:04 am
being mentioned. and i think that triggers the age old human longing to play god beans of dana got to finish. ah, should we fear robots or welcome them? hello robot is the name of the exhibition at the vitro designed museum in the german town of bi alarm rhine. it focuses on our fascination with robots and artificial intelligence, a, i, for short, an intense relationship between man and machine. austrian, emily climb curated the show, which has successfully toward the world. take a look, he had the me and if hop in technology has quoted everything in our world like a thin layer of color. that's just a fact of turnville and there's no turning back now that the genie is out of the bottle. that's why we have to keep asking ourselves as individuals and as a society, how we want to implement this technology. looking in the industrialized world can no longer function without its intelligent machines. but the outlook for the
6:05 am
coexistence of humans and robots, the swings between you, topic in dystopic, between hopes for a better mechanized world and fears that human agency will get lost them in, in all other industry. we have a robot who writes manifestos and exactly, that's intellectual work, as we know from politics or arg to the home. but that robot is as dumb as a door knob, back ham. it knows the vocabulary, grammar, and syntax and it has no clue about what it's writing. hardly any other phenomenon has captured the imagination of the movie industry as much as the vision of artificial beings then not only have an uncanny human appearance, but also far superior abilities from metropolis to 2001 and blade runner to matrix science fiction films, including many blockbusters have explored humanities. uneasy fascination with robot androids and artificial intelligence escaped feely, philip ashby,
6:06 am
live her. constituents are so many examples of artificial intel tested a found their way into our brains and hearts through pop culture, shaping our image of robots and a i didn't against breaking the thing. that's why we're always disappointed when we come across to real a i or robots because they're usually nowhere near as cool as the ones we know from louise and bugs. but we're do the boundaries between a i and human creativity lie. will machines managed to crack one of the last mysteries and are increasingly technologies world how we feel emotions and turn them into art? my tail crease, director of the vitro design museum is doubtful. martina conklin, name was jordan for machine cannot feel emotion, also, zebra, torn fixed, and no matter how much people insist that will eventually be able to produce cynthia and machines, they won't have the emotions of a human being group. and those emotions are reflected in any good work of art,
6:07 am
whether it's a painting and a design object or a great building or toner. it's an irreplaceable factor is i'm fuck, jordan. then couldn't finish this. ah. but what can and can't machines learn artist leon lew than trout offer some insight . he started painting as a child and by the age of 16, was celebrated by the art world as a prodigy and sensation earning the nickname baby. because so he's one of the most successful german painters under 30 and famously willing to chart new ground in their coin. beneath when phosphorus one does one, 0, i find it incredibly exciting to combine these 2 components for them. one says that is pairing art with artificial intelligence when in order to bring the art to another level and break new grounding, making it even more innovative. he gets to gain could no innovative us and of course also to keep up with the time said site. so good,
6:08 am
lay on live and trout is taking part in a study that investigating the question, what do artists feel when they paint what goes on in their brain during the creative process? for this purpose, the master class of the virtual design program that kaiser's law to an university of applied sciences measures his brain wave neuro feedback shows that when he's painting he enters the kind of trans that everybody who's dog know foster becomes. i know we captured data from his movements and brain waves and the brush strokes he made a fast ram. thousands of we recorded sounds and basically everything that could be turned into numbers with davosto on. and then we used algorithms to create data from all of that to visualize the image. it is what is it? an immersive spatial installation has been designed using the collected data. the artists creative process can be experienced by means of an interactive surface.
6:09 am
this gives the public a haptic sensation of how it feels. it's not thinking indian can't even put it thought that goes into the creative process. the abstract expression and energy i always have approaching my painting is something that many people underestimate the unseen thing. thus i offered the physical toll it takes on the body, but also on the brain. oh, good. so it's really a massive effort, mentally, as well doing this intensive creative work for hours on end. such a boston, docile intensive, so arbiter, ah, in the future, the artist could possibly save himself all that effort. because artificial intelligence will make it possible degenerate algorithms of leon live and child's creative process and visual language. using data obtained from the study and produced images in his style, i was good to begin, aviana, did you begin to clear? there are parts of the brain that maps certain creative work and processes leo
6:10 am
installed into. so theoretically you could have leon's, dreams interpreted and generate an image of them the next morning and bus in to not get oriented. but leon live in trouts creative process is still that of a typical artist. he draws sketches and applies acrylic paint to the canvas without high tech, but with dedication and passion. but could a, i create something similar or even better. moment talk with her for hope 9, that right now i would say no, not yet. oh, but i'm careful about predictions as to what might happen in coming years in the office here because a i is absolutely powering ahead and i reckon this whole topic will be surprising us a lot of them in t mobile. and so what would are to made by 8? i look like a brand new rembrandt spat out by a computer in 2016. a new painting by the dutch master was unveiled,
6:11 am
created with a i and fed with data from 346 of his works, a team of programmers, designers, and scientists from the dealt university of technology and a i, experts from microsoft, developed countless algorithms to calculate proportions colors sheen, light and shadow and substance. with u. v. ink from a 3 d printer like oil on canvas. 148000000 pixels amounted to a portrait of a man between 30 and 40 years old, with a beard, hat, and color. and amazing result, but is it really art dutch artist lanika go dine, uses a i to explore relationships between humans, nature and technology. i believe that art is a reflection on society and poses a question. and i think a, i can also ask questions, but are they still meaningful?
6:12 am
i think artists will reflect probably on a i and that will be totally true art. the sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice. and therefore, intelligence much has changed since john boldly art made this statement. in 2018, the painting edmund de bellamy became the 1st a i generated artwork on the market, painted by an algorithm fed with 15000 portraits from various periods. it was the 1st a artwork to be sold by christies. it earned some $433000.00 for the french art collective obvious, which provided the invented de bellamy family tree gold frames and the algorithmic formula in lieu of an artist signature. but when the machine is trained on millions of images and sophisticated algorithms
6:13 am
create works of art, who deserves the credit ai, the programmer board, the art, an artist that provided the data like picasso, rembrandt, poor van, go a i art raises many questions, not just ethical and legal ones for vincent bridge, who teaches at the berlin university of the arts. it's the myth of the artist that matters. but isn't bid calvo what advice with this one, but yet, if i buy a painting knowing it's my boss got one, i'm more willing to spend a lot of money and look at it for hours. imagining him painting it in new york, it via, than if i see exactly the same picture knowing it was only created by a computer algorithm mission. i don't just look at the pure result in it, but i buy the story and the person a little little clarity because she's too dependent biskin mit co. but what exactly does an algorithm create? what can a, i do? a, i is the machines ability to imitate logical thought and creativity once unique to
6:14 am
humans, robots and machines are the hardware. while a i is the software standing in for the brain. machine learning allows a i to continually develop, improve, and deliver results on its own almost in real time. humans 1st feed the, a large amounts of data in the form of algorithms. rules that tell a computer what to do. the technology brings an unprecedented level of speed, precision and efficiency. but what about creativity? clobbered us transmission till again, i don't believe that artificial intelligence will replace the emotions of art and creativity any time soon and come up with these. if i connect her to be teeth often for she didn't include this. pure creativity comes partly from encounters with different cultures. and people and journeys your and you mentioned didn't fall on,
6:15 am
and the artist brings all these emotions to the canvas. so i don't think i will ever completely replaced the human artist couldn't star as it's invert. like a child, a eyes 1st artistic endeavors were doodle. british artist and computer scientists, harold cohen, 1st developed in a i controlled drawing machine in the early 19. seventy's. aaron imitates human hair movements with a robot and paints its own pictures. the 1st simple shapes were in black and white since the 19 ninety's more complex and in color. over 40 years until his death in 2016 harold cohen developed his art and technology raising the question. if what aaron is making is not art, what is that exactly? reasonable, ooh said. then dipping the kn conan, even if we can create pictures that are super photo realistic on or look like van
6:16 am
gogh or other works that look completely original and groundbreaking diving. ultimately, we are also discussing the question of what's real and what isn't tal? and if haga vases, how can we create our own work visit? i met with her people ave. so how can a i be used as a creative tool? recently a has been advancing rapidly in the field of image processing and generation freely available text to picture systems like does e and mid journey have caused a collective earthquake? it has never been easier, faster or cheaper to create digital images. at the berlin university of the arts, vincent brits discusses the latest developments with the students in the artificial creativity. seminar helped us come on disinfect. you can compare it
6:17 am
a bit to when there was only classical painting. and then suddenly the 1st photographer's appeared with often dug up. and there was certainly resistance. and people said it was an art, it was a photo, plagiarism, whatever. huh. hm. and then over the years and decades, the idea of a photo artist became established icon. i think it'll be the same with artificial intelligence in fine move. the artificial intelligence can colorize historical film footage in seconds. but the programs show their limits when it comes to processing complex artwork. the problem with this, i think is that for example, if it's like an acoustic video and the grass was pink because you painted at pink because it was an odd movie, would make a green because it's basically just working on an average like, oh, come, sucks image processing, like shading and lighting, is no problem for the latest generation of ai based graphics programs. what used to take hours or days can now be done in seconds. this is that to
6:18 am
list the tallest us. it's threatening, of course that more and more people can generate an infinite number of images and the images i spend a lot of time creating no longer have the same value i like, but at the same time, they're just tools to master and use wisely and embed in larger concept signed, but programs like dully or mid journey or disrupting the traditional creative process. the tools are impressively user friendly. enter text into the program. in a i spits out the command as an image. creativity has no limits. even if the artist to quality is sometimes doubtful as a consumer perspective or as an artist, i find it more liberating and empowering to have new ways and tools to generate new imagery and new things. i still see it more as an opportunity, and as a does, is madison's the gun on this one is funding victim. it's exciting that a designer no longer has to think about how to draw a picture. i, instead you think about how to best describe it. so the computer can draw it lively,
6:19 am
it's more or less the same job with that, but a completely different approach. but he does have a job of guns and onions by the photos of people who don't even exist. every single pixel created by ai and dissembled from millions of photos of real people from the web of any ship from vice, via fungi and facebook. imagine i download all the pictures from your facebook profile and load them into artificial intelligence, mit and tell it to create your picture. then lottie, a unit on the ai does no more than look at these pictures and generate an image of you that's about it doesn't process an existing image in a bit of an each pixel is based on the photos of you, but as its own creation, it was 9 and then it becomes difficult to discuss privacy rights, visa, pessimist cuts, christian. the students have concerns about data protection, copyright and ethical issues. and of course they worry about a, i threatening their own careers. i cannot compete with this kind of
6:20 am
intelligence. it will always be flawless, it will be always faster. on the other hand, they're our personality and our humanity. and our in perfectionists, is actually what makes us sometimes better from this kind of an artificial intelligence. what an ai can develop its own creativity. how does a i influence us? who's controlling who these were among the questions, addressed in a 2022 production at dresden opera house. december opa chasing waterfalls is the 1st opera with a libretto and score co written by artificial intelligence, and featuring a virtual voice. and impressive showcase for the technology, but humans, we're still in charge. right now we use mainly algorithms with
6:21 am
a lot of different data inputs. but we still have some sort of control and i find it really hard to think of a situation where the control is gone. but then also for me, the meaning is gone. deploying a, i can be useful in a museum, for example, at the bell house archive in berlin. the company art plus com used a i to make the comprehensive collection visually accessible. museum visitors can use a touch pad to navigate their way through 15000 images. fully immersing themselves in the archive. berlin bay studio on formative makes 3 d models with a i, the process of what it calls a i sculpting. it's sold by humans, but not the result. the project demonstrates that artificial intelligence augments its learning quickly, improves continually and delivers unforeseen sculptures of equality that surprises,
6:22 am
even the creators themselves. once their computers got control, we might never get it back. if we're lucky, they might decide to keep us as pets. entire galaxies of artificial intelligence float above the compound of the u. s. space agency nasa, an artwork developed by monica gord, dine and ralph now to of studio drift with the help of artificial intelligence. hundreds of drones swarm and patterns in the heavens. reflecting the natural intelligence of a flock of birds flying and moravian studio drifts, award winning work has been admired. all over the world. studio drifted phased in amsterdam. the 2 artists work at the interface between technology and nature. together with the 70 member team. delicate,
6:23 am
complex sculptures of light are created out of dandelions that have been fitted with ellie dees. studio drift creates art that shows high tech can be beautiful and poetic. if you think about the classical artist, you know, making imagery or i yeah. working in a way that reflects to boss styles the i think i are replacing artist barts. i don't think is necessarily a bad thing. you know, because artist, in my opinion, good artist sugars should create a new vision of the future. studio drift also provided airborne art for the 5th anniversary of the l philharmonic in 2022. more than $300.00 drones rose into the night sky and sparkled above hamburg. the concept of delight installation was inspired by the location and architecture of the iconic concert hall. unfortunately, some of the breaking waves stars literally made a splash,
6:24 am
where they're due to external influences or technical problems. during the rehearsal 15 drones fell into the water at the premier, 5 more fell to earth. further performance as of the light show were cancelled for safety reasons. every one involved was disappointed. everything that is digital can develop really fast because she can feel without real consequences because she can make the failures in a safe environment, but actually creating, ah, you know, an impacts of a i in the real world that is way harder. and we as risk artist, no doubt our, our process our way slower, because we only make physic work and that have to be saved, that have to be maintained and have to work for very long periods of time. studio drip is now working on a commission from google quantum ai. the aim is to visualize how
6:25 am
a quantum computer works. it process is millions of times faster than a conventional p c. the reason for its speed is that it carries out calculation steps simultaneously rather than in a sequence. a bit like a tree with many processes like growth and photosynthesis taking place at the same . i'm a is limitless. there's no limit that's, that's the scary parts. like we, we can't comprehend what it can become, you know, like there's no control 0. it is a form of evolution. it's just like a next life form that we, we can't imagine what it is like, a monkey can't, cannot imagine our skill set. and what we can become like, same for us where they are google quantum a i is based in santa barbara, california, highly sensitive quantum computers are developed here in this high security compound, the mega computers, enormous processing capabilities and speed will play
6:26 am
a major role in the field of artificial intelligence in the future. they can already solve problems that will take a normal p c, about a 150000 years to solve it's kind of like cheating in a way, as you know, i protest is of humans. evolution of nature goes over millions of years, and this is just like skipping a couple of millions of years. artificial intelligence is the technology with unforeseeable potential. will it take us forward or annihilate us? and what role will it play in art? will it remain a tool of creative or will it replace them at some point? will it not matter who or what creates a work of art, human or machine like in a year to be surprised or some ai creating an art piece that you know is just so out there we like this is a whole new arch style. yeah. but also next to that like, is that the right question to ask like, or who cares about arts?
6:27 am
if we all, if we con existing is old anymore because they are killing us to ensure a i doesn't spin out of control. there need to be some guard rails, not just an art, but in politics. 2, most men should have it. we need to retain the work of humans. of course a robot might even be able to do better. but to i want that on the on. no, i don't. even if we humans are still flawed, i still want to negotiate with another human, to hammer out laws and a framework within which we can work with technology and mutation of so will a, i beat us that our own game. will it make artists redundant? only time will tell, perhaps, sooner rather than later. ah,
