Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) a source of great inspiration combining creativity with rigorous mathematics to imagine something no one could - a machine capable of not just calculating numbers, but weaving patterns of thought, music and art. Her collaboration with Charles Babbage on the analytical engine laid groundwork for modern computing, and her visionary notes contained the first algorithm written for a machine - making her the world's first computer programmer. What if Ada Lovelace walked among us today? #lovelace

🤖#repost: @impa_official The personification of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and virtual assistants is the subject of a study by IMPA researcher and Visgraf leader Luiz Velho and the director of @vfxr.io Matteo Moriconi. 🤖The study began at the end of 2023 and its main objective is to gain a deeper understanding of the human-machine interface and the evolution of the digital environment.The researchers are currently in the process of disseminating the results of their work. To this end, a series of six lectures is being held, available in a playlist on Visgraf's YouTube channel. 📱💻In addition to the advances in the services offered by digital assistants, the researchers discuss the impaethical issues and the risks of applying this new "smarter" AI. 🚫In a lecture at the end of September at IMPA, they presented tests with Celestia Borealis (pictured), the research's experimental robot. 🤖🔗Read more on the site.
Art in the Age of AI Production: Expanding the Artistic Frontier 🎨Andy Warhol's legacy is a testament to how each technological shift redefines art. Just as mechanical reproduction blurred lines between high art and mass culture, AI production is now expanding these boundaries further. This isn't simply about new tools or techniques; it's about a profound transformation in how we create and perceive art. From photography to pop art, each era has introduced methods that challenge traditional notions of authenticity, aura, and authorship. AI takes this further by making algorithms part of the creative process, turning data into an artistic medium.The continuous movement of art has always incorporated new technologies, each offering a fresh lens through which to explore humanity. Today, AI is not replacing the artist but providing a platform to question and expand the creative process itself. In a way, this era asks us to reconsider what it means for art to have presence and originality in a world where machines generate imagery.We stand at a moment where the boundaries of art are being redrawn, echoing the perpetual evolution that has defined centuries of creativity. AI doesn't signal the end of this journey; it is simply the latest movement in the ever-unfolding history of artistic expression.#ArtHistory #AIArt #ContinuingArt #ArtAndTechnology #CreativityRedefined.

Virtual Dimensions: The Rape of Proserpina by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1621-1622) captures a fleeting moment, where Bernini's mastery of light and shadow not only enriches the visual experience but also transcends space, time, and sight, deeply imprinting on human memory and provoking profound reflections. This work lingers in the viewer's consciousness like a persistent shadow, echoing through the ages.
Verba Volant, The Papyrophon... before the internet, let alone artificial intelligence, love messages were transmitted in voice in the 1950s with the help of the Papyrophon. This device, a pioneer in its day, promised to transform written words into real "talking letters", bringing a touch of magic and emotion to romantic communication. The slogan was catchy: "love letters will talk". In an era where contact was made through paper and ink, the Papirophon was a revolution - it allowed you to record your own voice and send that special message in a much more personal and engaging way.Imagine the enchantment of hearing the words spoken in the sender's own voice, echoing directly from their hearts, something as rare and fascinating as receiving a scented letter. In modern times, where we have instant audios and virtual assistants, it's curious to think how this invention paved the way for the innovations that connect us today. Who would have thought that, decades later, our "talking letters" would be digital and intelligent, crossing borders in seconds?

Thank you to the IMPA community for the platform to discuss and showcase our findings as we continue to push the boundaries of this exciting field. IMPA Visgraf Lab Stay tuned as our research evolves and brings new possibilities to light.
How to Make Our Agent, Celestia Borealis, Say the Word "Shit" and Behave More Like Humans?Creating an AI that feels genuinely human requires more than just responses - it's about embracing the quirks, emotions, and sometimes even colorful language that bring interactions to life. That's our goal with Celestia Borealis.The Human Side of Celestia BorealisCelestia is designed to bridge the gap between machine precision and human nuance, but sometimes she's still a bit too "proper." Real people use humor, express frustration, or throw in a casual expletive now and then to connect. These moments add authenticity - and that's what we want for Celestia.Why Our Agent, Celestia Borealis, Avoids "Real" LanguageMost AI models steer clear of certain words due to concerns about offending users or misuse. But for an agent like Celestia, built to engage authentically, a bit of realism can make all the difference.#HumanlikeAI#CelestiaBorealis #AIwithPersonality #AuthenticAI #RealTalkAI #EmotionalAI #AIandHumanity #BeyondMachine #ExpressiveAI #QuirkyAI #BreakingBoundaries #AIwithAttitude #HumanTouchInTech #AIRealism @chatgpt @openai @google @microsoft @nvidia
