Artificial intelligence: what's the limit?
Article in Ciência Hoje Magazine (October 2024) by
Matteo Moriconi, Brazilian Association of Visual Technology (VFXRio) and Visgraf Laboratory, Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA)
So-called artificial intelligence, or AI - a multidisciplinary field that allows machines or devices to perform various advanced functions almost autonomously - is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives, promising even more revolutionary advances in the future. Based on a science fiction movie, The Creator, this article discusses the human perception of morality in the age of artificial intelligence, bringing to light not only the technological implications, but also the social and ethical ramifications of advances in this area of computing.

The Art in Artificial Intelligence
by Matteo Moriconi in collaboration with Luiz Velho, Noah Charney and Bernardo Alevato
AI (artificial intelligence) software is all the rage at the moment. From Midjourney to Dall-e to Stable Diffusion and beyond, the combination of machine learning and AI has made the internet a fantasyland in which prompts entered by users can conjure up endless combinations of new, unique images and even remarkably fluid and intriguing texts. This article looks at the philosophical and historical resonances of the art in artificial intelligence, considering elements like misuse while examining the myriad benefits of this new technology.

Biting the AI Apple: Magritte and the AI
by Matteo Moriconi in collaboration with Noah Charney
LETTERS TO MAGRITTE: INDEX | INTRODUCTION - SYNTHETIC ART | IMAGINARY CARDS - PART 1 | SYMBOLS - PART 2 | TEXT AND IMAGE - PART 3
As part of our series of essays for VFXRio on synthetic art - metaverses, generative art and AI - this essay takes a more creative approach. Using Midjourney and ChatGPT, we created a series of imaginary letters sent by artists to the Belgian surrealist painter Rene Magritte as a starting point to consider questions about AI, creativity, and how we humans interact with machines.
