Recording of UCLIC Research Seminar of Piotr Mirowski, Staff Research Scientist at DeepMind.
TITLE: Live Theatre Performance with Artificial Intelligence
ABSTRACT: The impressive developments in language and image models have both opened new creative possibilities for artists and surfaced ethical concerns about the impact of generative AI upon the arts. In this talk, I will cover the subject of AI as a creativity support tool, focusing on theatre and live performance with generative AI. I will illustrate the talk with an example of my theater company, Improbotics, that has used AI for improvised comedy since 2016 and has recently engaged the wide public at Edinburgh Festival Fringe , as well as my research at Google DeepMind on our evaluation of generative AI tools for co-writing screenplays, theatre plays and comedy.
BIO: Dr. Piotr Mirowski is a Staff Research Scientist at DeepMind. His research on artificial intelligence covers the subjects of reinforcement learning, navigation, weather and climate forecasting, as well as a socio-technical systems approach to human-machine collaboration and to computational creativity. He is the author of over 75 papers and patents in applications of AI to the real world. Piotr studied computer science in France at ENSEEIHT Toulouse and obtained his PhD in computer science in 2011 at New York University, with a thesis supervised by Prof. Yann LeCun (Outstanding Dissertation Award, 2011). A trained actor himself, Piotr founded and directs Improbotics, a theatre company where human actors and robots improvise live comedy performances and investigate the use of AI for artistic human and machine-based co-creation.
