The potential for AI and automation to replace jobs is almost guaranteed as we&#8217;re currently seeing with brands such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/may\/25\/adidas-to-sell-robot-made-shoes-from-2017https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/may\/25\/adidas-to-sell-robot-made-shoes-from-2017\">Adidas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/newsexaminer.net\/food\/mcdonalds-to-open-25000-robot-run-stores-by-2016\/\">McDonalds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2015\/feb\/03\/are-driverless-cars-the-future-of-uber\">Uber<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whether a machine\u00a0can mimic creativity is a question that has been posed more frequently and the answer to that is yes. Google for example is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/google-author-create-artificial-intelligence\">teaching its artificial intelligence<\/a> how to understand language by making it predict, and replicate, the works of famous dead authors. Companies such as <a href=\"http:\/\/melomics.com\/\">Melomics<\/a> are creating brand new music using an AI while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-R9bJGNHltQ&amp;feature=youtu.be\">teaching a neural network<\/a> about famous painters such as Picasso or Pollock can lead to some amazing results as you can see below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"sc-separator type-thin\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9058\" src=\"http:\/\/www.antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY.png\" alt=\"google neural network painters\" width=\"1055\" height=\"1201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY.png 1055w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY-264x300.png 264w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY-768x874.png 768w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY-900x1024.png 900w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY-369x420.png 369w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY-738x840.png 738w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY-640x729.png 640w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sb8dHcY-681x775.png 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1055px) 100vw, 1055px\" \/>Wouldn\u2019t it be\u00a0great to hire Pablo Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Suzuki Harunobu, Camille Corot or Jackson Pollock as art consultants for\u00a0your photography project? Or how about game design? By looking at patterns the neural network can identify elements at multiple levels\u00a0(e.g. grain, texture, strokes, composition), then use\u00a0an optimisation process to help generate a new image from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>This leads us further into issues of copyright and ownership and whether those concepts are outdated in the modern digital world. If a machine can randomly produce a famous song or produce a song that then becomes well known around the world, who owns the copyright? As we&#8217;re slowly entering the world of abundance\u00a0it will be fascinating to see these battles play out against ingrained resistance<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.googleblog.com\/2016\/02\/exploring-intersection-of-art-and.html\"><strong>READ MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-separator type-thin\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">RESOURCES<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sc-separator type-thin\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/google\/11730050\/deep-dream-best-images.html?frame=3370674\">Google Deep Dream: 19 of the best images from mesmerising photo software<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/ai-painter?ref=producthunt\">Instapainting:\u00a0turn your photo into a painting of that style<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-R9bJGNHltQ&amp;feature=youtu.be\">Two Minute Papers &#8211; Deep Neural Network Learns Van Gogh&#8217;s Art<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research.googleblog.com\/2016\/02\/exploring-intersection-of-art-and.html\">Exploring the Intersection of Art and Machine Intelligence<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nucl.ai\/blog\/deep-style-networks-quake\/\">Deep Style Networks: Famous Painters Make Concept Art for Quake<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/technology-33677271\">Intelligent Machines: AI art is taking on the experts<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mr.division\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">INSTAGRAM<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/styledivision\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">TWITTER<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DivisionMag\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">FACEBOOK<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/styledivision\/\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">PINTEREST<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve always been fascinated by the concept of artificial intelligence and whether we will know when it has truly &#8216;arrived&#8217;.
