AI Trends: Deepfake, Style Transfer & Image Classification

What trends are you seeing in the creative tech world? Have you built something you want to share recently? Do you need to chat about creative coding and things happening in your field?

This meet-up is to get a bit of air time for those in the creative coding world to share some thoughts projects ideas and tech that interests, challenged, or inspired them.

With COVID19 affecting everyone and people forced to stay inside and isolate we are finding ourselves spending more time on our phones and online. How is this affecting us? More users means more data. BigData is readily available and there are many types of AI you can explore and specialise in be it Deepfake for media art or entertainment, Image Clasification for object recognition or Style Transfer used to imitate and generate art, video sound or even text just to name a few.

Big tech firms and governments like Facebook and the Chinese government know data is very valuable. The more data the better the AI. So AI is a trending trchnology and these firms and governments have invested heavily in it. There's no better time than now to get started as a creative technologist. AI like our previous talks embodies the essence of Creative Tech because again it requires a balanced mix of tech capabilities along with creative flair. This talk will focus on the subtle differences and when to use what tool along with how to get started on each area.
