주제: Can You Pass a Turing Test? AI, Creativity and Digital Media

초록: What would be the equivalent of Turing test for AI that can create TV series, films, music, photographs, art, designs or architecture? The common answer is that if a computer can generate artworks indistinguishable from the ones created by human creators, it passes such test. However, this answer does not take into account the fundamentally different conditions of art making in different historical periods. Today media and artistic creation takes place in a digital environment - i.e. it involves use of software apps, stock media and other resources. In my talk, I will argue that this digital environment poses crucial questions for defining a Turing test for “artistic machines.” I will also explain that computers have already passed the artistic Turing test as early as 1966, and therefore this test is no longer relevant. As an alternative, I will propose a harder test for artistic AI. I call it a “Moln?r test” - named after Vera Moln?r, one of the pioneers of computer art in the 1960s.
