Art without an Artist: Can AI be Considered an Artist

Artificial intelligence has become part of almost everything we do, especially in creating art. The speed of making art has increased tremendously. In this talk, I want to explore: can we think of artificial intelligence as an artist? I’m not talking about artists using AI as a tool to create art - I’m okay with that. What I really want to ask is: Can AI itself be considered an artist? I conclude the presentation with an exhibition of some of my non-AI-generated artwork. If the weather allows, we will invite the audience, thanks to the San Mateo County Astronomical Society and the CSM Astronomy Department, to a telescopic observation of the sky. With assistance from experts, you will enjoy a stunning view of celestial wonders.

An art Exhibition and reception will follow the presentation. Weather permitting, that will be followed by telescopic observation of the sky from the Theatre Courtyard.
