Join Dr. Alan Cowen, CEO of Hume, and Kathy Tafel, Senior Director of Engineering at Artsy, as they discuss "Aesthetic Appreciation & Fine Art." What is aesthetic appreciation, and how does visual art evoke emotion? How close is AI to understanding our aesthetic feelings? Will AI bring art curation to the masses? Will AI ever be able to generate paintings on par with those of Rembrandt, Monet, and Frida Kahlo? Why is it that uniqueness and ownership imbue art with a special aura, and can NFTs really bring that aura to digital art? We debate how technology can bring more aesthetic appreciation into our digitally connected world.The Feelings Lab, presented by Hume AI, explores the frontier of emotion science and its lessons for creating a more empathic future. We’ll discover how scientists and technologists are integrating empathy into social media tools, robots, digital art, and more, with the goal of building equity and compassion into these ubiquitous AI systems. Each week, join our panel of expert hosts, and emotionally attuned guests, to learn how empathic technologies are shaping the modern world.Subscribe, and tell a friend to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!Apple: apple.co/3iaXAO7Spotify: spoti.fi/3zM0lvhCheck us out at: hume.aiLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/hume-aiYouTube: bit.ly/3zS3EkqIf you have any questions you’d like answered in an upcoming episode, feel free to send them to [email protected].About Hume AI: Hume AI is a research lab and technology company.
