AI in Art: Everything You Should Know About Its Role and Future
- AI in art is boosting creativity, automating processes, and generating unique works. It also collaborates with artists to generate new possibilities and blurring boundaries between human and machine creativity.
- AI is a powerful creative tool but opinions differ on its true level of creativity and originality. AI is seen as an engine for the imagination by some creatives.
- Applications of AI in art are generative AI, style transfer, enhancing artistic processes, personalized and predictive design.
- One of the major concerns in this domain is the Pandora's box of ethical and philosophical questions sprouting up with the use of AI, which also raises questions around the ownership, creativity, privacy, and bias in artworks. Additionally, there are worries that AI-generated art might strip away the personal, emotional touch that makes human art unique.
- While AI is overhauling the world of art and design, there are still some concerns like technological constraints, risks of over-reliance formal training, fair compensation for artists, and changes in the job market.
- However, AI in Art and Design is also opening up exciting possibilities, such as Interactive Art with AR and VR, AI as curators in Museums and Galleries, Personalized Art and Design, and expanding AI’s influence beyond traditional art.
- In a future where AI is both artist and the medium, the creative possibilities are limitless, and we're only scratching the surface of what can be done with the aid of AI.

Cognitive Cities: Blending AI, AR & the Built Environment
- A cognitive city must understand an individual’s needs, adapt city systems and infrastructure and provide personalized city services that are trusted and secure.
- AI is central to building a secure, accurate, and private model of the individual while AR provides a human-centric, natural and seamless interface to these personalized cognitive services.
- The combination of AI and AR will drive the creation of completely new mixed-reality experiences that don't exist today.
- These capabilities should be fully embedded in the built environment from the planning and design phase.
- The full integration of AI, AR, and built environment can be achieved through a city operating system, which integrates these capabilities with the physical infrastructure.
- Unseen wonders could be loaded from our collective imaginations to populate cognitive cities like fireworks from our AR+AI boosters, allowing us to create epic mixed-reality experiences.
- Wireless power points located throughout the city will remove the need to carry heavy battery packs.
- The City Operating System coordinates and provides equitable access to all features, implementing a software architecture that eliminates the need for multiple software upgrades.
- Cognitive cities could be one valuable endpoint from the many ways that AI, AR, IoT, and several other technologies are converging.
- It will be a developing story as these technologies, and others that emerge, continue to evolve in parallel.
