AI Agents is a podcast representing a collaboration between the Sia Furler Institute and The Australian Institute for Machine Learning at the University of Adelaide as a part of the Art Intelligence Agency. Through conversational interviews, the podcast explores the intersections of contemporary art and artificial intelligence with a distinct focus on how this relates to human creativity. Hosted by Tim Whiffen of Whimsy Productions, this podcast represents the work of many respected contributors to the Art and AI fields. The possibilities of AI stretch beyond imagination, and yet are limited by the lack of inbuilt imaginative consciousness in machine learning. Follow the series as it distinguishes the prospects from the constraints of this modern technology. Upcoming interviews include creatives, stakeholders, and academics in the fields of philosophy, physiology, art, information technology, and music.

Ep 14: Agent Marcus du Sautoy - Formulating a Creative Outcome

It seems that many people would rather use calculators or employ the services of an accountant than practice the language of mathematics, we've got plenty more fun things to be doing than formal equations. But is this boredom surrounding mathematics due to the language, or the subject of equations? Perhaps grammar is to a poem what math is to AI art. Can we code for creative outcomes? Is there a formula for art? It sounds daunting but Marcus Du Sautoy, author of the creativity code, is an Oxford University mathematician with fascinating insights on how we can solve for bold and beautiful in AI. Marcus joins the Art Intelligence agency to discuss the art of mathematics and the mathematics in art.

You can find more of Marcus's work in mathematics here, and follow his newest book on bookshelves in August.

This Podcast was Produced by Tim Whiffen of Whimsy Productions in Association with the Art Intelligence Agency, the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, and the Sia Furler Institute of the University of Adelaide.
