Creativity code. As artificial intelligence learns to write, draw and think

The famous Oxford professor and popularizer of science Marcus Du Hundred explores the nature of creativity, illuminating the most important aspects of the work of algorithms and mathematical rules that are based on them. He wonders how our emotional response to works of art is due to the reaction of the brain to patterns and structures and what exactly means to engage in creativity in mathematics, visual arts, literature and music. On the basis of vivid examples of how “the algebra of harmony” “turns into the algebra” of world masterpieces, including “Eugene Onegin” by Pushkin, “Song of Ice and Flame” by George R. R. Martin and “Harry Potter”, musical works of Wagner and Schubert, on the one hand and the work of Massive Attack, Beatles, Bob Dylan - on the other hand, the author finds out how long the cars, perhaps, will learn how to create really creative works and whether they, in turn, can stimulate our imagination. The result is in front of you: a fascinating and completely unusual study of both artificial intelligence and the essence of what it means to be a person.
“Artificial intelligence is shaking the very foundations of our existence, demonstrating how much of what people do, cars can do no worse, or even better than them. But this book is devoted not so much to the future with unmanned machines and computerized medicine as the question of whether the algorithms can compete in any significant way with the power of the human code. Are computers capable of creativity? What is needed for creativity? To what extent is the emotional reaction to works of art is the result of the reaction of the brain to certain drawings and structures? These are some of those that we will consider. ” (Marcus du hundred)
