-
- Technology
Artificial intelligence has only shown us the endless possibilities right at the touch of our hands to create art and self-expression. For Memo Akten, Ph.D., AI became a creative tool to reflect the human condition. As an artist, musician, researcher, and AI whisperer, he has produced a number of great works from the creative interplay of natural and machine. In this episode, Memo joins us to share his very unique way of looking at AI through the many art pieces he has created over the years. From a digital art visual installation that uses digital puppetry to his most recent work called “Distributed Consciousness,” Memo amazes us with the parallels of AI to our lives. He also lets us in on his thoughts about AI overtaking humans, the influence of AI on the creative industries, the power of decentralization, and more. So tune in to not miss out!
Key Takeaways:
AI & Creativity: Using AI as a visual instrument to create a form of self-expressionAI’s Potential: Disruptions in the creative industries in the next few yearsAI’s Impact on the Creative Process: Understanding the concept of ownership in a decentralized environmentWill writing code become obsolete because of AI?
Quotes:
"I'm interested in the whole spectrum from mystical to technical because ultimately I'm interested in the human condition.""How can I make tools that allow people who might not have access to certain equipment, to still tell stories, to make films, to make animations and things like that.""I wanted to build what I call instruments analogous to a piano or a guitar, but not necessarily musical instruments, but visual instruments."
