Is Creative AI Coming to a Board Near You? - DZone Big Data

I've written previously about the way AI has become increasingly capable in creative tasks, whether it's playing jazz or cracking jokes. There have even been a couple of projects utilizing AI to help us develop smarter and more engaging video content. A Japanese company are promising to take this to a new level with the development of a robot that will provide creative advice for commercials and other marketing projects. The AI has been developed and deployed by the marketing agency McCann Japan, and will attempt to provide input on the various projects taken on by the agency. It will mine a large database of previous creative projects to suggest possibly new creative directions for an advert. It's a very similar approach to that taken by the robot jazz player mentioned above, which also mined a huge back catalog of past jazz performances to suggest creative new avenues the'player' could go down.
