AI Meets Art At Cypher 2023
In an alternate history, if Leonardo Da Vinci had AI while painting Mona Lisa, would he have required the same 16 years to finish the magnum opus? He may have not. AI art generators have given users the power to create fantastical images with just a few text prompts, sparking both excitement and concern among artists. While some see a problem, a number of artists are wholeheartedly embracing this transformative change. In the recent months, we have seen text-to-image AI generators evolving from producing bizarre human fingers to hyper-realistic images indistinguishable from human-crafted. As the advancements continue, AI’s dominance is increasingly evident in the field of simulation and design as the biggest names in the industry including Adobe, Midjourney and Dall-E are actively collaborating with AI. To delve deeper into these ongoing trends and how the landscape is developing, distinguished animation filmmaker Biren Ghose, will be taking the centre stage at India’s premier AI conference — Cypher 2023.  His talk will be all about the intersection of AI, simulation and design. Ghose, renowned for his extensive work as Country Head at animation leader Technicolor spanning nearly 15 years, will provide insights into a near-future where designers can swiftly transform their ideas into reality, reducing the time frame from days, months, or even years to mere minutes. With the rise of AI tools, artists now possess the ability to convey their creative vision to computers, entrusting them with the intricate process of artistic creation and Ghose will be present at the AI event to talk about it all. Pollock: A New Dialogue Understanding the relationship between AI and art is the focal point of Cypher 2023. In its 7th edition, the conference not only welcomes industry leaders, technologists, and AI enthusiasts but also offers artists a dedicated platform, known as “Pollock,” to exhibit their work and share their perspectives on this technology poised at the crossroads of artistry. An eye-opening report published earlier this year revealed a staggering statistic: over 15 billion images were generated using text-to-image algorithms in the previous year alone. To put this into perspective, traditional photographers took 150 years, from the introduction of photography in 1826 until 1975, to reach the same 15 billion milestone.  The impact of technology is undeniable and cannot be left out of any conversation. The momentous AI event in India’s very own Silicon Valley will host a panel discussion titled ‘The Fusion of Art and AI: Navigating the Impact of Artificial Intelligence in the Creative Industry.‘ Esteemed industry insiders like Tapan Aslot, a Creative Director and AI Artist, will talk at length about algorithm-driven creativity and the indispensable human touch. The panel will further go down the rabbit hole to shed light upon different facets of the field including, but not limited to ethics of AI in art. With a particular emphasis on the ethical dimensions of AI in art, “Pollock” is set to mark a shift in the ongoing dialogue between art and technology. Participate in the conversation in Bangalore from October 11th to the 13th, as experts search through the interplay between machine learning and artistic sensibility. The AI bonanza promises to break down conventional boundaries, bringing in fresh perspectives and pushing forth the frontiers of creative expression.
