Ai Weiwei Challenges AI to Philosophical Debate in Provocative New Art Project
-
Ai Weiwei believes art that can be easily copied by AI is "meaningless" and that even great masters like Picasso would have had to rethink their approach if AI existed back then
-
Ai Weiwei's next project is called "Ai vs AI" where he and an AI will independently answer the same set of 81 questions over 81 days
-
The questions will cover topics like love, capitalism, and whistleblowers and answers will be projected in public spaces and posted online
-
Ai Weiwei warns that powerful AI could create a society similar to Nazi Germany with only one "correct" ideology if relied on too much
-
As an artist, Ai Weiwei believes it's his role to ask difficult questions and speak uncomfortable truths rather than massage the powerful
