This week we delve into the depths of Instagram and ask if it's possible to be a successful artist on Instagram. What are the benefits and hurdles to getting recognised as an Instagram artist? Join Jon, Nina and Lucija as they explore the pros and cons of the social media behemoth!

We're back in 2021! This week we discuss the topic of the moment: NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens (Nifties). With the recent sale of artworks such as Beeple's "Everydays" selling for $69 million, the art world is taking notice of the latest offshoot of cryptocurrencies. We discuss the concepts of reproducibility, ownership and ask what NFTs will mean for the future of digital art.

With many countries going into lockdown again, we review several recent online conference events in Creative AI and Computational Creativity, including ICCC and Ars Electronica. We also look at a recent Guardian article that was written by GPT-3 and discuss the implications of AI journalism

In today's episode we interview artist Patrick Tresset. For more than a decade Patrick has been developing robots that sketch and draw. Patricks work is a unique combination of performance, robotics and art. Join Jon and Nina as they discuss Patrick's work and his views on AI and Art.

With many countries in lockdown due to the global pandemic, in this episode we reflect on how much things have changed over the last few months. How will work and education change now that many people are spending so much time on-line? Working at home is now the norm and many people are questioning if we should ever return to the traditional workplace. What is lost or gained when so many aspects of human relationships turn virtual? And how will all this change creative AI research? Join our team as they reflect on a new, post-pandemic world.

We've reached the end of 2019, so for this extended episode we look back on the highs and lows of Creative AI in 2019 and offer our predictions for the state-of-the-art in 2020. The discussion covers everything from GAN Art to the recent UK election so, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride! We'll see you on the flip side in 2020...

This week we discuss the release of the 1.5 billion parameter model of the GPT-2 neural network. Released by OpenAI, the GPT-2 is a language model trained to predict the next word in 40GB of Internet text. While it's been around for some time in scaled-back forms, the release of the full model was previously considered "too dangerous" for the Internet. Why the change? Listen in as we discuss the implications of "big AI", where the resources to train very large models are beyond what most individuals or even universities can afford. And what about the energy costs for all those GPUs/TPUs computing away a gradient descent for weeks or months on end? Should there be a "training shame" (utbildningskam in Swedish) for big, energy hungry models?

Another big week in Creative AI! The announcement of the Lumen Prize for Art and Technology, A discussion pondering if “Robots could ever become artists” at the Science Museum in London, plus the release of a new book on AI-powered creativity. At that’s before we get to today’s topic: does AI need to be able to explain how it arrived at a decision? Join podcast regulars Jon, Nina and Dilpreet along with our new special guest star, Professor Simon Colton to find out more.
