News about Beethoven’s unfinished Tenth Symphony being written by a computer; the debut of the robot-composer who writes in the style of Bach; and the computerized protégé of the Master of Light and Shadow “New Rembrandt.” The artificial intelligence revolution has entered the sphere of art and music, a creative domain.

Critics of this new art form take issue with the lack of creative capability in the technology, deeming it to be “cognitively inferior to a newborn child.”
Developers of the Belamy Portrait have created AI-art generation algorithms using Generative Adversarial Network framework in machine learning. Essentially, human operators would feed a collection of human-created art to the machine, from which it “learns” the creative process. In turn, the machine generates artwork using...
