Overview
Arthur I. Miller explores AI's capacity for creative expression — from algorithmic art and music composition to AI-generated literature and game design — asking whether machines can truly be artists.
Full Description
Arthur I. Miller, a historian of science, takes a sweeping journey through AI creativity in 'The Artist in the Machine.' The book profiles creative AI systems across every medium: visual art generators like DeepDream and GANs, music composition systems, story generators, and AI game designers. Miller interviews the researchers and artists behind these systems, exploring questions of authorship, originality, and aesthetic taste. He argues that AI is not merely mimicking creativity but developing its own form of it — raising profound questions about what it means to be creative in an age of intelligent machines.
