Session Description
April 1 2025 @ 5:30 pm
Join community members to hear from Aaron Hertzmann, principal scientist at Adobe Research and an affiliate professor at the University of Washington, discuss the intersection of art and computer science as part of the C.C. “Kelly” Gotlieb Distinguished Lecture Series.
In his talk, Hertzmann will delve into the evolving role of AI in art, exploring how new neural network algorithms are transforming artistic creation and their parallels with historical artistic technologies. Discover why AI algorithms, despite their impact, are unlikely to be considered true artists, and how they will reshape our understanding of art.
