An authority on creativity introduces us to AIpowered computers that are creating art, literature, and music that may well surpass the creations of humans.Today's computers are composing music that sounds more Bach than Bach, turning photographs into paintings in the style of Van Gogh's Starry Night, and even writing screenplays. But are computers truly creativeor are they merely tools to be used by musicians, artists, and writers? In this book, Arthur I. Miller takes us on a tour of creativity in the age of machines.Miller, an authority on creativity, identifies the key factors essential to the creative process, from the need for introspection to the ability to discover the key problem. He talks to people on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, encountering computers that mimic the brain and machines that have defeated champions in chess, Jeopardy!, and Go. In the central part of the book, Miller explores the riches of computercreated art, introducing us to artists and computer scientists who have, among much else, unleashed an artificial neural network to create a nightmarish, multieyed dogcat; taught AI to imagine; developed a robot that paints; created algorithms for poetry; and produced the world's first computercomposed musical, Beyond the Fence, staged by Android Lloyd Webber and friends.But, Miller writes, in order to be truly creative, machines will need to step into the world. He probes the nature of consciousness and speaks to researchers trying to develop emotions and consciousness in computers. Miller argues that computers can already be as creative as humansand someday will surpass us. But this is not a dystopian account; Miller celebrates the creative possibilities of artificial intelligence in art, music, and literature.
