Artificial Intelligence has become a part of our daily lives. It acts as personal assistant, recommends and selects the content we see on our Facebook or Twitter feeds. We asked the artist Egor Kraft about the relevance of this technology in his work, and about the frame of his speculative research. In the second part of this episode we linked it to a review of the essay AI Aesthetic by Lev Manovich. Artificial Intelligence takes part in the selection of images, for instance through the automatic analysis of pictures. But it is also able to create. Recently, AI generated content has found its way into mainstream productions. Take the series "Game of Thrones"–an algorithm suggested plot ideas, which then have been confirmed or dismissed by the writers of the show. Does that mean that computers learn to be creative? Is there such a thing as an AI aesthetics? Either way, it is only natural that artists take an interest in the possibilities of machines that learn, select, and create.In the second part of this episode we linked it to a review of the essay AI Aesthetic by Lev Manovich.
