What is Generative AI? Concept and Applications Explained - MarkTechPost

#artificialintelligence

The term "generative AI" is used to describe AI systems that can create new information from scratch, as opposed to merely evaluating or acting on preexisting data. Avatars on social media sites and text-to-image converters have both made generative AI more accessible to the general public in recent weeks. The widespread implementation of AI will have far-reaching consequences for the future of business, affecting everything from daily operations to product development to worldwide expansion. Generative AI has impressive capabilities and a wide range of possible implementations. Blog entries, code, poetry, FAQ responses, sentiment analysis, artwork, and even films are just some of the textual and visual outputs of generative AI models.


Beethoven, Picasso, and Artificial Intelligence – Towards Data Science

#artificialintelligence

When people think of the greatest artists who've ever lived, they probably think of names like Beethoven or Picasso. No one would ever think of a computer as a great artist. But what if one day, that was indeed the case. Could computers learn to create incredible drawings like the Mona Lisa? Perhaps one day a robot will be capable of composing the next great symphony. Some experts believe this to be the case. In fact, some of the greatest minds in artificial intelligence are diligently working to develop programs that can create drawing and music independently from humans. The use of artificial intelligence in the field of art has even been picked up by tech giants the likes of Google. The projects that are included in this paper could have drastic implications in our everyday lives. They may also change the way we view art.

Hoy traemos a este espacio a Make Music and Art Using Machine Learning, que nos presentan así; About Magenta Magenta is a Google Brain project to ask and answer the questions, "Can we use machine learning to create compelling art and music? Our work is done in TensorFlow, and we regularly release our models and tools in open source. These are accompanied by demos, tutorial blog postings and technical papers. To follow our progress, watch our GitHub and join our discussion group. It's first a research project to advance the state-of-the art in music, video, image and text generation. So much has been done with machine learning to understand content--for example speech recognition and translation; in this project we explore content generation and creativity. Second, Magenta is building a community of artists, coders, and machine learning researchers. To facilitate that, the core Magenta team is building open-source infrastructure around TensorFlow for making art and music. This already includes tools for working with data formats like MIDI, and is expanding to platforms that help artists connect with machine learning models Douglas Eck Education Innovation Human-Computer Interaction and Visualization Information Retrieval and the Web Machine Intelligence Natural Language Processing Co-Authors I'm a research scientist working on Magenta, an effort to generate music, video, images and text using machine intelligence. Magenta is part of the Google Brain team and is using TensorFlow (www.tensorflow.org), The question Magenta asks is, "Can machines make music and art?


Is Art Created by AI Really Art?

#artificialintelligence

You've probably heard that automation is becoming commonplace in more fields of human endeavor. Or, in headline-speak: "Are Robots Coming for Your Job?" You may also have heard that the last bastions of human exclusivity will probably be creativity and artistic judgment. Robots will be washing our windows long before they start creating masterpieces. In reporting a story for CBS Sunday Morning, for example, I recently visited Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where Ahmed Elgammal's team has created artificial-intelligence software that generates beautiful, original paintings.

Indie games invade the art world at the Megashow festival

Engadget

The Indie Megabooth, a bastion of independent games at conventions around the world, is growing. But this time around, things are different: The Megabooth is expanding beyond games. The Megashow is the first standalone festival to be spun off from the Megabooth proper: It's a roaming, daylong fair designed to highlight local creatives and bring communities together around video games, art and music. The Megashow will make its debut at the Tabernacle in Atlanta on July 15th. "Our initial goal was to expose new audiences to indie games and show them that there was this whole other side to game creation," says Megabooth leader Kelly Wallick.


The combination of human and artificial intelligence will define humanity's future

#artificialintelligence

Bryan Johnson is the founder and chief executive officer of the neuroprosthesis developer Kernel and the founder of OS Fund and Braintree. Through the past few decades of summer blockbuster movies and Silicon Valley products, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly familiar and sexy, and imbued with a perversely dystopian allure. What's talked about less, and has also been dwarfed in attention and resources, is human intelligence (HI). In its varied forms -- from the mysterious brains of octopuses and the swarm-minds of ants to Go-playing deep learning machines and driverless-car autopilots -- intelligence is the most powerful and precious resource in existence. Our own minds are the most familiar examples of a phenomenon characterized by a great deal of diversity.

Project Magenta: now AI is making music

#artificialintelligence

Going by the website, Project Magenta is Google's attempt to explore whether artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can be used "to create compelling art and music". While AI has long been used for things like speech and image recognition, Project Magenta is Google's attempt to use AI to create instead. According to Magenta scientist Douglas Eck's blog post, "[Google's]developing algorithms that can learn how to generate art and music, potentially creating compelling and artistic content on their own."
