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 4: Agent Saqib Shaikh - Seeing the world through AI (Featuring Agent David Olney)

When we look at a painting or gaze upon a movie scene, we gather the visual information on what objects are, why something may be moving, and what that might mean. For a machine, these inputs break down to 1s and 0s to make sense of this information through algorithms and patterns. Visual systems are incredibly complex, and replicating them for those without sight is a significant technological challenge. Agent Saqib Shaikh is a software engineer at Microsoft and project lead of Seeing AI, a mobile application that narrates the world around us. To address the capability of AI for visually impaired people, Agent Saqib, co-founder of Seeing AI joins Tim and guest host Agent David Olney to discover more about the program.
