In a recent interview Leonel Moura said that “most people understand now
what Artificial Intelligence is. They accept the fact that it is today
possible to simulate intelligence in machines and robots. A kind of
intelligence that for being artificial it does not mean to be less
intelligent. Hence I propose a similar concept for art. We can now build
machines and robots able to create their own art. An artificial art of
course but for being artificial it does not mean to be less
artistic.”<br><br>
