商品描述

The award-winning author of The Music of the Primes explores the future of creativity and how machine learning will disrupt, enrich, and transform our understanding of what it means to be human.

Can a well-programmed machine do anything a human can--only better? Complex algorithms are choosing our music, picking our partners, and driving our investments. They can navigate more data than a doctor or lawyer and act with greater precision. For many years we've taken solace in the notion that they can't create. But now that algorithms can learn and adapt, does the future of creativity belong to machines, too?

It is hard to imagine a better guide to the bewildering world of artificial intelligence than Marcus du Sautoy, a celebrated Oxford mathematician whose work on symmetry in the ninth dimension has taken him to the vertiginous edge of mathematical understanding. In The Creativity Code he considers what machine learning means for the future of creativity. The Pollockizer can produce drip paintings in the style of Jackson Pollock, Botnik spins off fanciful (if improbable) scenes inspired by J. K. Rowling, and the music-composing algorithm Emmy managed to fool a panel of Bach experts. But do these programs just mimic, or do they have what it takes to create? Du Sautoy argues that to answer this question, we need to understand how the algorithms that drive them work--and this brings him back to his own subject of mathematics, with its puzzles, constraints, and enticing possibilities.

While most recent books on AI focus on the future of work, The Creativity Code moves us to the forefront of creative new technologies and offers a more positive and unexpected vision of our future cohabitation with machines. It challenges us to reconsider what it means to be human--and to crack the creativity code.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《創意代碼》是一本由屢獲殊榮的《質數之音》作者所撰寫的書籍,探討了創造力的未來以及機器學習如何顛覆、豐富和轉變我們對於人類本質的理解。

一台經過良好程式設計的機器能否做到人類所能做的事情,並且做得更好?複雜的演算法正在選擇我們的音樂、挑選我們的伴侶,並推動我們的投資。它們能夠處理比醫生或律師更多的數據,並且以更高的精確度行動。多年來,我們一直安慰自己認為它們無法創造。但現在,演算法能夠學習和適應,創造力的未來是否也屬於機器?

在這個令人困惑的人工智慧世界中,很難想像有比馬庫斯·杜索托更好的指南。杜索托是一位備受讚譽的牛津數學家,他在第九維度的對稱性研究將他帶到了數學理解的極限。在《創意代碼》中,他探討了機器學習對於創意的未來意味著什麼。Pollockizer可以以傑克遜·波洛克的風格製作滴筆畫,Botnik則創作出受J.K.羅琳啟發的奇幻(雖然不太可能)場景,而音樂創作演算法Emmy甚至成功愚弄了一個巴赫專家小組。但這些程式只是在模仿,還是具備創造力?杜索托認為,要回答這個問題,我們需要了解驅動它們的演算法如何運作,而這將使他回到他自己的數學領域,其中包含著謎題、限制和誘人的可能性。

儘管大多數關於人工智慧的最新書籍都聚焦於工作的未來,《創意代碼》將我們帶到了創新技術的前沿,並提供了一個更積極和意想不到的與機器共存的未來願景。它挑戰我們重新思考人類的意義,並解開創意的密碼。
