What exactly is AI (artificial intelligence)?

Pritish Bagdi

ree

AI is the intersection of computer science and data science, as well as machine learning, to create algorithms that can generate a system of predictions or analyses based on inputted data. Machines used in this technology are designed to mimic the human mind and can learn and improve over time to adapt their processes.

When it comes to art and design, AI has been applied in such a way that a constant stream of content can be created. However, the actual process of creating AI imagery is fraught with trial and error. When a creator enters such a platform, they are asked to provide a prompt, which can be as general or as specific as they want. As the machine learns and understands what is being asked of it, the images produced get closer and closer to the desired output. The smallest change to the prompt can completely change the imagery, and the more that is explored, the more detailed the final product.

Music, art, fashion design, and other creative fields are now subject to AI technology, in a sector that is rapidly evolving in response to accelerating interests. Experts in the field are also investigating whether AI can be creative without the need for human intervention in order to better understand the depth of communication between humans and machines.
