Programados para crear

Until very recently it seemed incontrovertible that the ability to create works of art and to find innovative solutions to the problems posed by the world is one of the abilities that defines us as a species. But precisely thanks to creativity we have invented increasingly sophisticated machines that surpass us in many areas. Although the aspiration to recreate the characteristics of the human mind is ancient, the development of a true artificial intelligence capable of learning from experience is a recent milestone. But is he limited to imitating or is he really capable of creating? Marcus du Sautoy explores the latest advances in artificial intelligence and analyzes the mathematical operations involved in our creative processes. Du Sautoy offers an optimistic and innovative vision of our relationship with machines, which will force us to rethink the essence of human creativity.
