Insert AI-Generated Title, Episode 4 - Painted Hands Along Cave Walls

Welcome to Insert AI-Generated Title, a podcast about artificial intelligence and how it impacts our lives, produced by the California Center for Ethics and Policy--or “CCEP” --at Cal Poly Pomona.

This season, CCEP student fellows explore the ethical and policy issues arising from the rapid development of AI. From its applications in crime prevention to generative technology, AI raises a variety of concerns around privacy, fairness, transparency, and bias, as well as questions of truth and our very perception of reality. How can we use and design AI in responsible ways? When, if ever, should we trust it?

In today’s episode, CCEP student fellow Nancy Garay delves into the controversial relationship between AI’s capabilities and artistic creation. As AI continues evolving and produces more and more sophisticated artwork, is it on the road to replacing human beings in the art world? And, what does this mean for the future of human creativity? Through interviews with students, artists, and experts in the art realm, this episode examines both the fears and benefits presented by AI in the creative sphere.
