About the event
Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly and new applications of AI are gaining in popularity every day, including in the arts. How can we use AI tools to prompt artistic image generation? How can we generate 3D assets from images and text and apply them to virtual or augmented reality and 3D printing? What ethical issues arise with the use of AI in terms of ownership and originality? How can we use AI to create music and what are the issues surrounding copyright and demo tools for music generation?
Register for this lecture and hands-on workshop with Edgar Cheng and Nick Tsang of the MIT Hong Kong Innovation Node to learn more about this important topic and to gain hands-on experience using GenAI tools for visual art and 3D design.
