Tom Buckingham Shum The artificial intelligent artist

Until recently the very ‘human’ ideas and skill-sets in the creative industries made them unattainable for Artificial Intelligence. However, developments in AI are leading to a new era of art, forcing questions about the possible obsolescence of human creativity. I chose 2D-cell animation for my body of work in homage to the magic of human creativity, with its lengthy processes and complexity contrasting with instantaneous art production by AI. Growth of AI in the creative arts is a blueprint for society, as we absorb ourselves in efficiency over quality, time and effort. Creativity is slowly being removed from our lives.
