Description
Mathematician Marcus du Sautoy explores a provocative question: can machines be creative? From artificial intelligence systems composing music and producing visual art to algorithms challenging human approaches to mathematics, he examines how pattern, imitation, randomness, and learning shape the creative process. Drawing on encounters with pioneering researchers and groundbreaking technologies, the book considers whether originality requires consciousness or intention—and what expanding definitions of creativity might mean for artists, scientists, and society. Accessible, wide-ranging, and intellectually stimulating, it offers an optimistic yet questioning tour of the possibilities and limits of algorithmic invention.
