From <strong>word.camera</strong>, a camera that expressively narrates its photographs in real time using artificial neural networks, to <strong><em>SUNSPRING</em></strong> (with Oscar Sharp, starring Thomas Middleditch), the world’s first film created from an AI-written screenplay; from making London’s Trafalgar Square lions roar poetry (“<strong>Please Feed The Lions</strong>” with Es Devlin), to writing a novel with a car (<strong>1 the Road</strong>), Goodwin’s projects and collaborations have earned international acclaim.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Listen now on Spotify or <a href=\"https://aifutures.substack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">join the AI Futures for Art + Design</a> newsletter for <a href=\"https://aifutures.substack.com/p/interview-with-ross-goodwin\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">written transcript</a> and future announcements.</p><p><br></p><p>In today’s episode:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Goodwin's work reflects his interest in experimenting with the intersection of writing and computation</li><li>The evolution of language models, from Markov chains to sophisticated large language models like GPT-4 and reflections on the field of computational creativity.</li><li>Ross Goodwin's projects, such as Sunspring and 1 the Road, demonstrate the intersection of art and AI, creating new narratives and experiences.</li><li>1 the Road highlights the unique narrative possibilities and constraints associated with location, time, and imagery</li><li>word.camera narrates photographs in real time using artificial neural networks, redefining the photographic experience and exploring the expressive potential of AI.</li><li>Goodwin's collaboration with the Allen Ginsberg Foundation trains a large language model on Ginsberg’s archive and creates new texts&nbsp;</li><li>Everyone loves David Hasselhoff</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Until next time,&nbsp;</p><p>Kate</p>","author_name":"Kate Armstrong"}
