New AI model recreates classic PC game without writing any code, Can AI make art?

Software engineers at Google have recently unveiled a new generative AI model which could revolutionise the video game industry. 

In a demonstration video, researchers showed how the model called GameNGen recreated the classic 1993 first-person shooter video game Doom - without relying on the original code or graphics. 

So how does this tool actually work? Will it work for other types of games? And are we going to see the technology be used to create new games from scratch in the future? Listen to AI consultant Raj Shroff’s take.

You'll also hear how an opinion piece on the New Yorker magazine sparked a heated discussion on whether artistic creations by AI can be deemed as art - or not.
