Much like the invention of the Jacquard Loom allowing unskilled labourers to replace artisans, AI gives unskilled people the ability to "create" artworks. Artist Memo Akten asks, is this a good thing for art and society overall, and who benefits?
Memo Akten is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, researcher and computer scientist from Istanbul, Turkey, currently based in Los Angeles.
