Integrating A.I. into museums: Expert says visitors may one day interact with people from history
Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' As artificial intelligence upends many industries, museums are figuring out creative ways to integrate the technology into their organizations. Douglass McDonald, the former CEO of Alamo Trust, founder of NGOGro, and former president and CEO of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, has spent more than 40 years leading museums. While many industries are anxious about AI's impact, McDonald said he is optimistic about its potential to enrich the field โ despite lingering unknowns.

Art on the Precipice of Revolution
Art is standing on the Precipice of Revolution never before seen in human history. From cave painting to the creation of paints from natural material, to Illuminated Manuscripts, to the Gutenberg Printing Press, to Renaissance painters and sculptors, to synthetic paints, to photography, videography, and spherography, to music composition, to digital representation and storage, all guided by the creativity of the human mind. We are accelerating into the Age of Artificial (General) Intelligence Artists. Optionally combined with advances in robotics, AI Artists will discover and use new creative insights. They will optionally place bush to canvas, or chisel to marble, or digit to piano key, or become a photographer, videographer, or spherographer, and compete with -- and eventually eclipse-- human artists.

This AI Could Go From 'Art' to Steering a Self-Driving Car
You've probably never wondered what a knight made of spaghetti would look like, but here's the answer anyway--courtesy of a clever new artificial intelligence program from OpenAI, a company in San Francisco. The program, DALL-E, released earlier this month, can concoct images of all sorts of weird things that don't exist, like avocado armchairs, robot giraffes, or radishes wearing tutus. OpenAI generated several images, including the spaghetti knight, at WIRED's request. DALL-E is a version of GPT-3, an AI model trained on text scraped from the web that's capable of producing surprisingly coherent text. DALL-E was fed images and accompanying descriptions; in response, it can generate a decent mashup image.
