SPACE & ML SOCIAL: AI GENERATED IMAGES

NeurIPS 2022 Space & ML Social Event

Our NeurIPS 2022 Space & ML social will kick off with a social experience for attendees to meet each other and foster co-opetition (cooperative competition) in a space & ML quiz (with winners&prizes!), with special guests from our federal and space industry partners. We will then host a relaxed catered networking session with our FDL researchers, mentors and partners.

*registering to Eventbrite for the NeurIPS 2022 Space & ML social, does not get you access to the NeurIPS conference. You will need to pay and register separately by visiting their website at www.nips.cc. Registering to our Eventbrite link is not compulsory for attending the social, but it helps us tailor the best possible experience for our attendees.

Heresy Or Opportunity: Can AI Make Us, More Creative?

Creativity is invariably seen as the opposite of computation. A precious, undefinable, ephemeral and most human of traits.

At FDL we’ve been watching AI become more and more useful as a creative tool. This is isn’t something we’ve deliberately tried to build, but seems to be happening anyway - for example:

  • Using tuned-language models to synthesize large bodies of content into insight and glean useful digestible nuggets.

  • Using image-synthesis tools like DALL E to visualize and create surprising outcomes.

  • Building knowledge graphs and seeing potentially useful collisions and combinations.

  • Optimizing solutions by understanding the causal interactions.

At this year’s NeurIPS social, we’d like to explore the possibility that AI is making humanity more creative. And is this a heresy or opportunity?

Ad Astra,
the FDL Team
