Imagine you’re a painter. You've spent countless hours in your studio, honing your craft with every careful brushstroke. After what seems like a lifetime, you now make enough money from your commissions to live a comfortable life. You might even dare to call yourself a professional.

However, there are whispers in artist circles all over the city. They say that people are seeing their work dry up and it's AI that's at fault. You’ve seen plenty of AI-generated art and think it's crude, lifeless, and lacks that all-important thing - a soul. 

So, is this fear universal? Does AI offer anything good to the art world at all?

Today’s guest is James Seward, a realist figurative painter who lives and works in New York City. James’ most recent collection - The Embrace, explores the moment of a hug in a selection of movies, both contemporary and classic.

Imagine that you're playing a video game. You find yourself in a sprawling world, with vibrant characters, and engaging puzzles for you to solve.

You can see how AI would fit neatly into this experience. The potential for art direction, coding, and other parts of the game design process to be made more efficient and creative are huge. You wonder, what is going on in game production right now that is enhancing what you’re seeing on the screen?

Today's guest is Farah Ali, VP of Technology Growth Strategy at Electronic Arts. She’s incredibly passionate about increasing accessibility in EAs games, and has seen AI make massive strides in this area.

Farah is also the Co-Founder and Board Chair of Pakistani Women in Computing, a global community of women in technology fields hailing from Pakistan and their global allies. In this role, Farah sees a number of barriers that prevent women from entering technology roles in AI.

Imagine that you had the chance to have a conversation with a real life robot. What would you say to it and what would it say back? You ask yourself - “what are we learning from each other? How do I conceptualize the power I have to feed narratives into this potentially conscious piece of software?”

You also think about the idea of stories. Don't they behave just like algorithms? Our stories guide our own personal narratives and shape our lives, even when we don’t always have them at the front of our minds. 

Today’s guest is Stephanie Dinkins, an artist and educator who explores ideas of interaction, algorithms and storytelling. All of Stephanie's projects can be found on her website.
