As the auction house Christie's sell their first painting made using artificial intelligence by the French art collective Obvious, we ask if robots are going to take over the arts and what the use of AI means for our understanding of creativity.
Samira Ahmed is joined by visual artist Anna Ridley and Google Art & Culture’s Artist In Residence Mario Klingemann, who discuss how they create visual art with the aid of AI. Singer Taryn Southern explains how she has just made an album using AI technology. And academic Marcus Du Sautoy, who's working on a new book, The Creativity Code: How AI is Learning to Write, Paint, And Think, art critic Jonathan Jones, and Professor Mick Grierson of the newly opened University of the Arts London (UAL) Creative Computing Institute, discuss whether art is art if created by machines and what the future might hold.
