Like many regular listeners of The Baer Faxt Podcast, host Josh Baer has Big Questions about art and creativity in our A.I. future. It’s a deep and fascinating topic, with wide-ranging implications for anyone involved in the art world, from creators and artists to collectors and museums.
In this episode, Josh is joined by two ideal experts: Liv Boeree, a leading game theory and A.I. strategist who is also a World Series of Poker champion and the host of her own podcast, Win-Win; and Adam Brown, a theoretical physicist who leads Blueshift, the research team at Google DeepMind, focused on advancing the scientific and reasoning capabilities of artificial intelligence.
Together they delve into Josh’s big questions: Can A.I. be creative? How can artists co-exist alongside fully autonomous artistic systems? What happens to artistic trial-and-error—and the unexpected discoveries that come with it—when machines are doing the creating? And in the future, as A.I. art improves, who will decide what art is “great”?
You won’t need to understand the complexities of machine learning, LLMs or generative A.I. to follow along with this debate – you just need an interest in art and creativity. And if you do enjoy it, please give it a like and share it on.
