AI - A Deep Dive (Part One)

AI - A Deep Dive (Part One)

It's a beautiful day to be a human, bathing in the glorious sunshine of this week's heatwave. However, it's also a pretty good time to be Artificial Intelligence... or a bot.


This week on the podcast we’re kicking off a two part AI deep dive. Firstly, in this episode, we will talking about the recent author protests outside of Meta’s London offices, asking whether AI can really make art, and looking at how AI is creeping into our everyday lives.


It recently emerged that Meta, the tech conglomerate formerly known as Facebook Inc, which owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads has scraped millions of books from the pirate data library Library Genesis- more commonly known as LibGen- to use to train its flagship AI model Llama 3.


Last month, icon, illustrator and Studio Ghibli co-founder, Hayao Miyazaki, was being copied and mimicked thanks to thanks to OpenAI’s latest version of its ChatGPT tool.. His water-colour, hand drawn illustrations truly are so loved across the world and bring so much beauty to those films.


As creatives we perhaps have a particularly purist approach to the incorporation of AI into our work, not only from a moral and ethical standpoint, where so many people may soon be out of work, but also from a creative protectionist point of view, where the time and practise and skills needed to create valuable and adored art should be celebrated rather than replicated by machines; but what about in other industries? In education? In schools?


Join us next week for part 2 where we will be diving into how the tech’s increasingly seeping into our relationships and internal worlds.
