Expectations versus reality of artificial intelligence: Using art to examine ontological issues

Giuseppe Torre

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The author presents three of his artworks that engage with issues surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) research. The artworks provide a means for discussing issues that are predominantly ontological rather than technical; while the author used a variety of computational methods in the development of the artworks, he did not make use of any AI techniques and tools. The discussion is carried on in a speculative manner that draws from concept art, academic research and sci-fi culture.
