Lena Robinson, founder of the online FTSQ Gallery, discusses the intersection of AI and creativity. She shares how her unconventional upbringing shaped her passion for the arts, emphasises the importance of creativity in all fields, including business and technology, and highlights the ongoing debate in the art community about whether AI-generated art can be considered true art.TakeawaysCreativity is not limited to traditional artistic skills like drawing or painting; it also includes creative thinking and problem-solving.AI can be a powerful tool for artists, allowing them to explore new concepts and bring their visions to life.The acceptance of AI-generated art is still a topic of debate in the art community, with questions about its authenticity and artistic value.The artist's skill, vision, and ability to craft their ideas are still essential in creating meaningful and impactful art, regardless of the tools used.AI can enhance and complement the creative process, but it does not replace the artist's role in conceptualising and executing their ideas. Depending on one's perspective, AI can be seen as both a tool for creating art and a form of art itself.Art that challenges traditional definitions and provokes thought can be found in unexpected places, such as Tracy Emin's bed installation and Marcel Duchamp's urinal.The future of AI in the creative field is uncertain, but it is likely to follow patterns seen in previous technological advancements, with the establishment of ethical guidelines and regulations.While AI can provide unbiased and balanced responses to ethical questions, it lacks true empathy and instinct, which are unique to human creativity.Data can be valuable, but relying solely on data may limit creative decision-making, as instinct and gut feelings play a significant role in the creative process.Links relevant to this episode:AI Ethics Surpass Human Judgment in New Moral Turing TestLena Robinson on LinkedInAbout - Tom Morley"Photography itself is not really real… I use all the tools available": Annie Leibovitz talks AI, at her L’Académie des Beaux-arts induction | Digital Camera WorldTracey Emin's messy bed goes on display at Tate for first time in 15 years | Tracey Emin | The GuardianThe Code | A Dove Film | Dove Self-Esteem ProjectFTSQ GalleryBlink: The Power of Thinking Without ThinkingAI tool specific to this conversationThanks for listening, and stay curious!//david--Tools we use and recommend:Riverside FM - Our remote recording platform Music Radio Creative - Our voiceover and audio engineering partner Podcastpage - Podcast website hosting where we got started
