Right then he told me that AI was creating art," recalls Jain, who is the co-director of the Nature Morte gallery in Delhi. It seemed absurd at first, but as it began to sink in, a very real possibility in the future. "I thought, 'the creative space is supposed to belong to mankind, so where is the space for Artificial Intelligence? Machines are taking over jobs which are system-intensive, but how does creativity inform AI--something which is quintessentially human?'"
