How AI is interacting with our creative human processes
1 min read
Summary
The rapid proliferation of AI across all aspects of life, from the creative to the corporate, has led to questions surrounding its usage.
Questions arise such as; how can we make sense of these machines, not just use them?
And how do the words we choose and stories we tell about technology affect the role we allow it to take on (or even take over) in our creative lives?
Two new books have been written to help users make sense of AI and how it can be used going forward.
“The Uncanny Muse” by music critic David Hajdu explores the history of how humans have made and used machines to express themselves.
“The Mind Electric” by neurologist Pria Anand shows that the human mind and brain, which are still not fully understood, cannot be replicated in 1s and 0s.
