Artists, the art world just got more competitive. Artifical intelligence is getting creative.
Google launched an art event in San Francisco over the weekend. Dubbed "DeepDream," the exhibition showcased artworks that are the result of algorithms doing advanced reverse image recognition.
AI on display were experimenting with form, say the Google researchers at the event, like cubist masters Picasso (shown above) and Braque did. Except the art was made by a "coder feeding visual data into the neural nets," explains re/code.
"I used to think that art was just a peculiar thing that humans do," said Google researcher Blaise Agüera y Arcas.
