A bold and thought-provoking journey into AI's power to transform human creativity
In Creative Machines: AI, Art & Us, world-renowned AI researcher and generative AI pioneer, Maya Ackerman, takes you on a thrilling journey into the rise of creative AI, from its earliest pioneers to the cutting-edge tools shaping music, art, and human imagination today.
Ackerman cuts through the hype, revealing the true capabilities and limitations of generative AI while championing its potential to amplify human creativity rather than replace it. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and her own cutting-edge research, she reveals how generative AI exposes both the brilliance and the blind spots of human society—our ingenuity, our biases, our assumptions about intelligence and identity.
The book contains:
- The hidden history and explosive growth of AI-generated creativity
- Explorations of the true capabilities and limitations of creative AI
- A visionary framework for using AI as a tool to enhance, rather than hinder, human creativity
- A bold new perspective on AI ethics and why fixing AI is not enough
Perfect for entrepreneurs, tech leaders, developers, ethicists, and creative professionals, Creative Machines offers deep insights, compelling stories, and a visionary perspective on AI's impact on human society. An essential read for anyone doing their best to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI.
