Artificial Intelligence: the museum perspective, the artists view, the photography controversy
b'
This week: AI and art. We explore some of the key aspects relating to artificial intelligence and its use in the art world: the works being made using AI technologies and exploring their impact; anxieties about machines replacing humans; the idea of AIs being able to think and create independently; and whether we can truly grasp the significance and possible effects of the technologies and those who control it, and more. Host Ben Luke talks to Noam Segal\\u2014an associate curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, whose focus is on technology-based art\\u2014about AI, its history in art, its social and environmental effects, and how artists are using it today. The Art Newspaper\\u2019s live editor, Aimee Dawson, talks to the artist and writer Gretchen Andrew about making art with AI and together they explore its wider application across the art world. And this episode\\u2019s Work of the Week is Pseudomnesia: The Electrician, an image made using AI by the photographer Boris Eldagsen. The piece caused controversy earlier this month when it was awarded a prize at the Sony World Photography Awards, which Eldagsen refused to accept. The researcher and photographer Lewis Bush discusses the work, the controversy and wider questions around AI and photography.
