<P><STRONG>ART</STRONG>ificial Intelligence: AI and Creativity</P>
<P>Machines are playing increasingly significant roles in creative activities such as music, architecture, poetry, visual and performing arts, as well as science. This distinguished lecture series will take a look at the evolving and complex relationship between AI and the human creative process. How might AI assist and augment human creativity? How might it enhance our understanding of, and access to, the creative arts? What new questions does this interaction give rise to?</P>

<DIV>Title: Making Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>Artificial Intelligence research has provided an abundance of powerful tools for artistic creation in visual arts, music and the literary arts. But amazing tools, in themselves, do not necessarily make for a better, more creative artist. Artists exploring the creative applications for Artificial Intelligence are overwhelmed by the remarkable possibilities coming out of AI research, and simultaneously awash in questions about what this all means for their role as artist. In what ways can AI systems make me a better artist? Can an AI become a better artist than me? And who is the real author of the work created in collaboration with these systems?</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>David Rokeby will explore these questions, reflecting on almost 4 decades spent creating through computation, and observing our human relationships with computational machines.</SPAN></DIV>
