Open Intelligence: AI and the Future of Creative Arts
‘Open Intelligence’: An eye-opening account of the future of creative arts in the age of AI · scroll.in

Saikat Majumdar's book 'Open Intelligence' discusses how art and artificial intelligence (AI) influence each other.

He argues that while AI can learn and replicate the scientific aspects of art, human artists have a unique ability to capture personal and subjective moments.

Majumdar highlights that human creativity lies in its subjective consciousness, which is something AI currently cannot replicate.

He also points out that the publishing industry might favor AI-generated art for commercial reasons, but human artists can survive by creating experimental and unique art that resonates deeply with audiences.

Majumdar remains hopeful that humans can thrive in an AI-driven world by emphasizing their unique narratives and idiosyncratic humanity.
