MILLER ARTHUR I THE ARTIST IN THE MACHINE

An authority on creativity introduces us to AI-powered computers that are creating art 
literature  and music that may well surpass the creations of humans. Today's computers are
composing music that sounds "more Bach than Bach ” turning photographs into paintings in the
style of Van Gogh's Starry Night  and even writing screenplays. But are computers truly
creative—or are they merely tools to be used by musicians  artists  and writers? In this book 
Arthur I. Miller takes us on a tour of creativity in the age of machines. Miller  an authority
on creativity  identifies the key factors essential to the creative process  from "the need for
introspection” to "the ability to discover the key problem.” He talks to people on the cutting
edge of artificial intelligence  encountering computers that mimic the brain and machines that
have defeated champions in chess  Jeopardy!  and Go. In the central part of the book  Miller
explores the riches of computer-created art  introducing us to artists and computer scientists
who have  among much else  unleashed an artificial neural network to create a nightmarish 
multi-eyed dog-cat  taught AI to imagine  developed a robot that paints  created algorithms for
poetry  and produced the world's first computer-composed musical  Beyond the Fence  staged by
Android Lloyd Webber and friends. But  Miller writes  in order to be truly creative  machines
will need to step into the world. He probes the nature of consciousness and speaks to
researchers trying to develop emotions and consciousness in computers. Miller argues that
computers can already be as creative as humans—and someday will surpass us. But this is not a
dystopian account  Miller celebrates the creative possibilities of artificial intelligence in
art  music  and literature.
