Author Arthur I. Miller: “The Artist in the Machine”
The Emeritus Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at University College London discusses his book, which examines questions of creativity in the age of machines. Now that computers can compose music like Bach or turn photographs into paintings in these style of Van Gogh, Miller reviews the creative process and interviews people on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence to discuss whether computers are already as creative as humans and if one day they will surpass us.
Miller’s other books include “Colliding Worlds: How Cutting-Edge Science is Redefining Contemporary Art” and “Einstein, Picasso: Space, Time, and the Beauty That Causes Havoc.”
