Can AI Ever Master the Art of Cinema? [Video]

Artificial intelligence has come a long way in the past few years in generating images and video that, on casual viewing, can fool you into thinking it’s a real representation of something that actually happened. This in itself has profound implications for news and information. But what about art? Could artificial intelligence ever create a film that moves you like Casablanca or tickles you like The Blues Brothers? For that matter, can AI even create a photographic image that puts you in the photographer’s place? Sure, many of our movies now contain computer-generated imagery, but that CGI work, however fictional, is produced by real people who make creative choices.

It hasn’t mastered the art of making the creative choices of human beings who are as real and complex as their audience.
