Talk Description
By now we have all heard about the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence, and many of us are already using it in our day-to-day lives. But what does it mean to be a creative human in an age when AI can generate endless "art"?
Game designer Jordan Leary will be demonstrating some of the capabilities of AI in the field of video game development, along with sharing personal reflections on human creativity, work, and purpose.
Jordan describes himself, not as an AI expert, but as an explorer of the intersections of technology, engineering and art. A graduate of USU’s graphic design program and lead developer of the hit online game Poptropica, he’ll share these explorations with us at Science Unwrapped and challenge us to think about the interplay of AI and human creativity.
