The Creative Power of Machines

Why artificial intelligence dictates what we will think and feel tomorrow

A new era is dawning. Artificial intelligence is penetrating an ever-increasing number of areas of our personal lives and culture. Self-learning algorithms are morphing our creativity and language, composing music, influencing our senses, finding our ideal partner for us, know what we want and are shaping our experiences.

Holger Volland is both fascinated and concerned by these developments. If machines learn and generate their own content, take over culture and determine our thoughts and feelings, what will become of us? Can smart, self-learning technology enrich our lives while we can still determine where we’re heading? The answer is yes, but only if we finally wake up and take a critical look at developments, as Holger Volland argues in his book.
