I sat down with my old friend Kyle Wood to record an episode of his podcast, Who Arted? We discussed recent developments in the widespread use of AI and what it can mean for art in a way that’s accessible for all ages, from educators to young artists.
Rosemary Lee is an artist and media researcher. Her work considers how image production technologies fit within larger narratives about art, knowledge, and relations between humans and machines. Her book Algorithm, Image, Art considers recent developments in artificial intelligence in relation to historical tendencies in image production. She was kind enough to share her thoughts on AI in relation to artistic production. We talked about AI tools as a revolutionary moment with great promise and peril much like the advent of photography in the mid 19th century. We also discussed some of the ethical implications, the limitations of AI, ways that artists can work with the tools and some of the ways artists are shifting toward processes AI tools cannot replicate.
