Marcus du Sautoy, Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, University of Oxford, giving a talk entitled "The creativity code", on the Main Stage, at New Scientist Live 2019
Will a computer ever compose a symphony, write a prize-winning novel, or paint a masterpiece? And if so, would we tell the difference? In this talk, Marcus du Sautoy explores the new developments in AI that are shaking up the status quo and asks how long it might be before machines come up with something creative, and whether they might jolt us into being more imaginative in turn. Marcus du Sautoy is the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford. He is author of six books including his most recent books The Creativity Code. He has presented numerous radio and TV series including a four-part landmark TV series for the BBC called The Story of Maths. He received an OBE for services to science in the 2010 New Year’s Honours List and was made a fellow of the Royal Society in 2016.
