AI Art is like a Photograph (feat. Obvious + Rutgers University AI Lab)

Is AI-generated artwork “real” art? Is an artist using a computer a “real” artist? What is “art,” anyway? According to our guests, Dr. Ahmed Elgammal and Hugo Caselles-Dupré, generative art using AI is just like using a camera in the 1850s. As the popularity of AI-generated art grows, so does the debate of what is - and isn’t - considered art. Listen to the story of the team at Obvious, the creators of the first piece of generative artwork ever to be auctioned off at the venerable Christie’s Auction House.
