How is AI Changing Art? AI, in general, is slowly becoming a regular part of our lives whether we realize it or not. As I was looking through articles, I came across one explaining how AI changes the way we see and make art. I never came across the fact that AI could take part in creating and analyzing art until recently. After seeing the advanced art, a question that I kept asking myself wast how AI art works? According to an article written by Aela, there are many tools and techniques that artists use to explore and expand their creativity through AI. They use AI to generate ideas for the artwork and use drawing tools and image style algorithms to create art. A technique that is commonly used for creating AI art is called Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The purpose of this technique is used to work together to generate images that mimic a reference image provided by the artist. By using this, it can help create a variety of images quickly and efficiently and will give you a bu...

 What's stopping you from learning about AI  It's not rocket science to realize that most people don't do well with change. It requires an individual to step out their comfort zone, explore new habits, techniques, and come to new realizations. Without a doubt, people will try to avoid change and resist from letting any new ideas, advancements, etc from ruining their routine. However, having a negative perspective on change is what causes people to have the most setbacks in their personal and professional life.  In Todd Kelsey's book, "Surfing the Tsunami", he often mentions how ignoring, resisting, or rejecting AI is nothing but a deception on the economic reality (Kelsey, 2018). In other words, as individuals living in a fast-paced society, we need to have a willingness to evolve.

As Kelsey describes it, Google is an "AI-first company". It has successfully adopted AI and has used it to expand and make a profit on a variety of things, including the generating of advertisements.  Google ads is a successful product of artificial intelligence. By using data on automating routine work, AI has allowed the company to generate complex ad campaigns that are accustomed to a variety o...
