Derya Soydaner: The art of Artificial Intelligence

Assistant professor Derya Soydaner explores how AI and art collide, revealing why creativity, perception, and machine learning are far more intertwined than they seem. From testing whether large language models can recognize artistic styles to imagining a ‘museum buddy’ that guides visitors through galleries, this episode uncovers how technology might reshape the way we experience culture.

Soydaner also dives into AI‑generated music, artistic authorship, and the tension between human struggle and machine‑made creativity. A thoughtful look at what we gain—and risk losing—as generative AI becomes part of our creative world.
