Abstract

In the project Syntropic Counterpoints, we are using discussions between Artificial Intelligence clones to generate creative content. Nevertheless, our focus is less on content analysis and more on the beauty of creation itself and given context by the machines. We are using a different recurrent neural network (RNN), and collective creativity approaches to support interactions between Artificial Intelligence clones and trigger a humanless creative process which should lead to unsupervised robot creativity. The robots are trained by using the publications of some of the greatest thinkers of their time such as Aristotle, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, SunTzu and confronted with the crucial questions related to humankind such as the understanding of morality, aesthetics, ethnicity, strategy, politics, etc. Throughout this robot-robot interaction model, we are trying to investigate the possibilities and consider limitations of using artificial intelligence in context-based creative processes as well as to raise questions related to potential future phenomena of machine mindfulness.
