AI and Art
Artificial intelligence is everywhere.
From facial recognition to autonomous vehicles to drug discovery, AI helps to solve problems and improves standards of living.
What can AI tell us about how we use language and process knowledge?
How do machine learning programs differ from how we reason?
In fact, is the human brain an organic computer?
Join us for a thought-provoking evening over dinner as our speakers present their take on AI and Art.
How is art generated by AI different? How will AI shape artistic developments?
Can creativity be artificial? What does it even mean to be human?

AI Aesthetics of Sculpture and Architecture
Immanuel Koh
Assistant Professor, SUTD
What are some of the spatial and formal aesthetics emerging from today’s AI-generated 3D art, and how do they differ from those found in the history of sculpture and architecture? In this talk, Immanuel Koh will attempt to deconstruct the computational process and product of generative deep neural networks, and discuss them through the lens of his ongoing AI research and design practice.

AI, Art and Controversy
Ernest Wu
Visual artist
In recent years, AI-generated art has gained popularity and generated both excitement and controversy. While some view it as a revolutionary new artistic medium, others argue that it lacks the human touch and is a mere replication of existing styles. This talk explores the current state of AI art, its potential implications for the art world, and the ethical considerations surrounding its creation and reception.
