Artistic Intelligence

It's the year 2035, and the society now has the help of robots. These robots follow three laws integrated into their system; 1) They cannot harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2)They must do whatever they're told by a human being as long as such orders don't conflict with law one. 3) They have to defend themselves as long as such defense doesn't conflict with laws one or two. One day, the writer of the three laws, Alfred Lanning, apparently jumps out of a window at U.S. Robotics. The majority of the Chicago Police Department believe he committed suicide, but Detective Del Spooner, who hates robots, thinks he was murdered, and the number one suspect is a robot who calls himself Sonny. However, if it was Sonny, then it means he would've had to have broken the three laws. With the help of Dr. Susan Calvin, Spooner must now discover the truth before it's too late. — Synopsis by  Ridley Lavine Pick something from I, Robot th...

 What to Consider about Artificial Intelligence in the Art World     AI enlists a broad spectrum of ideals. It is important to consider the many facets of utilizing and creating AI. AI in the art world has come a long way. There is now technology that can take a cue word or two, and create an image in accordance with the minimal direction. This is the beginning of achieving types of AI that are able to use their machine learning to decode algorithms, to in turn carry out real-world tasks that demonstrate a certain level of human processing.      This level of technology has allowed for a new type of media to be presented. Now Artificial Intelligence systems can create imagery that resonates with a creative thinking process. This is the beginning of AI being able to grasp concepts outside of explicit programming; the ability to intrinsically comprehend, evaluate, and present concepts in a creative and artistic manner is a huge stepping stone towards more fre...

 The Introduction of AI Generated Art Poses a New Question: is AI Created Art REAL Art?     Artists and scientists alike have been developing AI that can create art for the past fifty years. Recently, more and more AI systems are effectively creating art from detailed algorithms written by the artists/scientists with a specific outcome in mind. The first ever piece of AI generated art that was auctioned off, "The Portrait of Edmond Belamy" (located below), sold for $432,500. Their creations are appealing, and have an artistic sense to them, but are they really art? ("The Portrait of Edmond Belamy") Created by tech company Obvious Collective     I'm going to give a very basic, non-technical rundown of how AI uses the algorithms to develop its pieces. The algorithms represent a general set of "rules" that the AI system should fall under when analyzing and creating art. Within that algorithm, the AI will be trained to recognize and enforce a specific...

Through the Examination of Different AI Systems in How They Can Relate to Specific Fields of Studies, I Was Able to Better Understand the Value in Utilizing Them in My Own Work in the Science and Art World      As I first began looking at articles about artificial intelligence, I was surprised by how little I knew. I understood the general concept of what an AI is, and that over recent years, scientists have developed systems that can accomplish very complex tasks. However, I was not aware of the extent of these developments. Our first personal research on AI was to find an AI system that could connect to one of the animals we learned about, who had been trained to understand human commands for more complex matters, like Akeakamai the dolphin who could comprehend, respond to, and communicate with her trainers who used sign language, or Clever Hans, who was able to use facial and body cues to determine answers to the math questions they were being asked. Learning about th...

     Artistic Intelligence was created as a collaborative effort between Davis Allred and Hailey Warden for an English-2010 class. The main purpose of this blog was to convey a variety of viewpoints about artificial intelligence, specifically in the field of art. Using written pieces (essays, discussion posts, etc.) from the semester, Artistic Intelligence provides a large array of aspects centered around artwork AI. This blog connects with the art world, new developments and facets of artificial intelligence, and the connections between the two. It also discusses the potential dangers of AI and why you might not need to worry. Anyone interested in art, AI, and everything in between may be interested in checking out Artistic Intelligence.      Artistic Intelligence touches on a variety of topics. From new developments in artwork AI to the threats they pose to artists, one can learn about artwork AI from many different perspectives. This blog discuss...
