In the Age of Artificial Intelligence, Creativity Will Get an Upgrade

In 2016 an artificial intelligence bot, "Hoffbot," used neural networks to write all of David Hasselhoff's lines for a bizarre short film called Sunspring. Just three months ago Botnik Studios used a predictive algorithm to create a four-page script performed by Zach Braff of Scrubs. By 2019, most leading AI providers will offer tools and libraries for building AI-powered natural-language generation, image manipulation, and other generative use cases. Artificial Intelligence exists as an aid to creativity across every discipline. This year more solutions will come to market--in all verticals--that use leading-edge AI approaches known as generative adversarial networks (GANs) to algorithmically create digital and analog objects of all sorts with astonishing accuracy.
