Macchine creative. L'intelligenza artificiale genera idee. | Emanuele Frontoni | TEDxFermo

Are there creative machines capable of generating realistic and interesting content? Research in the field of intelligence and neural networks has provided the world with generative adversarial networks (GANs) capable of generating nonexistent faces, nonexistent cities, nonexistent night or rainy scenes, fashion and design objects, or human trajectories that... don't exist. The talk explores the mechanisms and the useful and less useful uses of GANs in many scenarios of life and technology, highlighting, in conclusion, how much human creativity lies behind these ideas and how the only creative machine that exists is man, who feeds on encounters to generate new ideas. Emanuele Frontoni is Professor of "Fundamentals of Computer Science" and "Computer Vision" at the Università Politecnica delle Marche, Engineering Faculty. He received the doctoral degree in electronic engineering from the University of Ancona, Italy, in 2003. In the same year he joined the Dept. of Informatics, Management and Automation Engineering (DIIGA) at the Università Politecnica delle Marche, as a Ph.D. student in "Intelligent Artificial Systems". He obtained his PhD in 2006 discussing a thesis on Vision Based Robotics. His research focuses on applying computer science, artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques to mobile robots and innovative IT applications. He is a member of IEEE and AI*IA, the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
