Carnegie Mellon's AI-Powered FRIDA Robot Collaborates with Humans To Create Art
www.cmu.edu: Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute has a new artist-in-residence.
FRIDA, a robotic arm with a paintbrush taped to it, uses artificial intelligence to collaborate with humans on works of art. Ask FRIDA to paint a picture, and it gets to work putting brush to canvas.
I’ve commented on quite a few articles about AI because I’m fearful and fascinated by it. I don’t like how we’re creating machines to create art because there’s a chance artists could be phased out by robots, or eventually, us theatre artists could be phased out. Now something even scarier is happening- this reality is becoming real ON OUR CAMPUS. The article says that FRIDA is collaborative, so I would love to see a student in the College of Fine Arts collaborate with this robot and scientific team. The article also talks about how the goal of FRIDA is to not take artists jobs. I find myself with an uncertain opinion with the fact that people can have the robot complete their art, but I find myself thinking of ways this could be helpful. I think people with disabilities like cerebral palsy could benefit from FRIDA. We’ll see how this FRIDA plays out. Maybe I’ll take a visit over if I’m able to.
This is really cool and fascinating. I have been paying attention to the idea of AI creating art for a period of time since it has been a topic where a lot of people talk about and has been discussing for periods of time now. This machine is really cool and I would love to learn more about how it has been created and how it is able to create artwork. Especially in the area of how it is able to identify color and shapes and finally creating art in real life. The topic of AI generating work online has been a long lasting discussion and how it imitates other artists work and build on top of it. I would love to read more in how the robotic arm would be in a similar situation. I’m excited yet nervous about the future of AI generating artwork and would love to learn more.
