Last Monday I gave a presentation on the philosophical subject ‘Can computers be creative?’. Everything went well and the discussion was lively. The PowerPoint presentation can be download here. It covers topics like the definition of creativity and if artificial creativity can be build in principle and it shows some practical research projects done on this subject.
A very interesting and accessible discussion transcript between Kurtzweil, Gelernter and Brooks can be found at KurtzweilAI.net: “Will machine become consciousness?”.
