C7761: Can Artificial Intelligence be as creative as humans? in Splash Fall 2022 (Dec. 03 - 04, 2022)
From Google to Meta, big tech companies have given AI the possibility to express its imagination by creating stunning images and videos just from a couple of words. When the painter Salvador Dali and the cute Pixar’s robot Wall-e are merged, the result is Dall-e, the jaw-dropping AI created by OpenAI, able to create images on-demand. Although the result is already insane, researchers from Meta are already moving on to the next level: AI text-to-video generators. But can AI be as creative as humans? How does it generate these out-of-the-world images? Should we be worried about this kind of technology? Come to this course to discover the cutting-edge tools for creating images and videos from AI and to learn how the heck AI is able to do that. We will discuss both the exciting possibilities and the potential dangers of these technologies!
