Aside from AI engineers, the next best guess at how AI will impact humanity will likely come from science fiction authors. Alex Shvartsman is tackling this mission through an elite collection of science fiction short stories called “The Digital Aesthete: Human Musings on the Intersection of Art and AI.” 

Among the science fiction masters included in the book are Ken Liu, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, Auston Habershaw, Taiyo Fujii, and many others. Alex joined Adario Strange to explore the book, its theme, as well as how AI is already changing how we create.

One of the pioneers of digital imaging joins us to unpack the secrets Adobe has in store for AI imaging in 2024 and beyond. Alexandru Costin is Adobe's Vice President of Generative AI, and he's been helping to lead the company's digital art mission for decades. Adario Strange gets Costin to compare the early '90s concerns over Photoshop possibly destroying art to the new fears around AI art and video.

Then the two take a deep dive into FireFly, Adobe’s generative AI tool that competes with the likes of Midjourney, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion, and show how FireFly and third-party AI generators will work with Adobe Premiere for video. Finally, they debate what impact the EU’s AI Act will have on AI business as it now comes into effect.

Duncan Eddy has spent years working in the realm of space satellite communications, and now he's directing his talents toward AI as the Executive Director of the Stanford Center for AI Safety. In this episode, Duncan speaks with Adario Strange to explain why the commercialization of space will continue to fuel our explorations into the Moon and Mars, and how AI-powered robots may be the primary method for deep space exploration in the future. Then the discussion turns toward the topic of AI safety and the algorithm the Stanford group developed to try to help guide the technology in the right direction. Finally, the area of AI super intelligence comes up, and you may be surprised at what Duncan has to say about that given his role as an AI safety advocate.
