Douglas Lenat
“Douglas Bruce Lenat is the CEO of Cycorp, Inc. of Austin, Texas, and has been a prominent researcher in artificial intelligence; he was awarded the biannual IJCAI Computers and Thought Award in 1976 for creating the machine learning program, AM. He has worked on (symbolic, not statistical) machine learning (with his AM and Eurisko programs), knowledge representation, "cognitive economy", blackboard systems, and what he dubbed in 1984 "ontological engineering" (with his Cyc program at MCC and, since 1994, at Cycorp). He has also worked in military simulations, and numerous projects for the US government, military, intelligence, and scientific organizations. In 1980, he published a critique of conventional random-mutation Darwinism. He authored a series of articles in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence exploring the nature of heuristic rules.” - Wikipedia
The AI-created art and videos are based off of a photo we found online. We think that the AI did a great job in terms of creating something that was realistic and accurate to the photo. The colors are vibrant and the lighting is well done. The video shows the different elements of the “painting” coming to life, which we found to be really cool. Overall, we're impressed with what AI can do in terms of creating artwork and videos from a photo.
