AI makes deepfakes, writes bizarre articles, creates unsettlingly stylised Harry Potter images, and apparently thinks eggs can melt – so how could it possibly be our next great co-creator?
Whilst tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney are divisive, and there are various AI-related lawsuits in the courts, that's only part of the story. AI and machine learning can enable some incredible creative work – from new music to imagined worlds. Nicola will discuss why there are some great reasons to get creative with AI.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, policymakers, teachers, and students interested in AI and creativity.
Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.
