AI Will Accelerate Creative Work, Artomatix CTO Says

Video games have evolved into sprawling virtual worlds that can take months to explore. Retailers are building ever more detailed 3D environments to showcase their wares. And in a high-definition world, digital effects in movies and television grow ever more elaborate. Demand for quality digital content is exploding, and so are the costs involved in creating it. The solution, explained Artomatix CTO Eric Risser to scores of technologists, designers and entrepreneurs crowding into a talk at GTC Europe Thursday, will be to harness deep learning to combine the speed of computers with the flexibility of human artists.
