The award-winning author of The Music of the Primes explores the
future of creativity and how machine learning will disrupt, enrich,
and transform our understanding of what it means to be human. Can a
well-programmed machine do anything a human can-only better?
Complex algorithms are choosing our music, picking our partners,
and driving our investments. They can navigate more data than a
doctor or lawyer and act with greater precision. For many years
we've taken solace in the notion that they can't create. But now
that algorithms can learn and adapt, does the future of creativity
belong to machines, too? It is hard to imagine a better guide to
the bewildering world of artificial intelligence than Marcus du
Sautoy, a celebrated Oxford mathematician whose work on symmetry in
the ninth dimension has taken him to the vertiginous edge of
mathematical understanding. In The Creativity Code he considers
what machine learning means for the future of creativity. The
Pollockizer can produce drip paintings in the style of Jackson
Pollock, Botnik spins off fanciful (if improbable) scenes inspired
by J. K. Rowling, and the music-composing algorithm Emmy managed to
fool a panel of Bach experts. But do these programs just mimic, or
do they have what it takes to create? Du Sautoy argues that to
answer this question, we need to understand how the algorithms that
drive them work-and this brings him back to his own subject of
mathematics, with its puzzles, constraints, and enticing
possibilities. While most recent books on AI focus on the future of
work, The Creativity Code moves us to the forefront of creative new
technologies and offers a more positive and unexpected vision of
our future cohabitation with machines. It challenges us to
reconsider what it means to be human-and to crack the creativity
code.
