hAIghtened senses

Celebrating a small win this week. Chaos Out Of Order received some grant funding for version 2 of our Electronic Nose 🐽 . Thanks to the team for the hours you guys put on weekends, after hours and public holidays. #Momentum #Confidence #NoLookingBack #Milestones #Focus

Was faced with two options, sleep late since it's Sunday or get eaten by mosquito's and do some data collection? #ChooseToFollowYourDream https://lnkd.in/dzjPknWY

I'm back from Paris. Akani Simbeni did not win gold in the end but I did get to see him run bloody close, and to watch the horses at Versailles and the cycling from the top of the Eiffel Tower - LA is going to have to work really hard to recreate similarly iconic experiences in four years time! But that's not the point of this post, it's just why I am running a bit late. No, in today's episode of hAIghtened senses we're speaking to Shezad Khan about the ways in which Generative AI can scale the output of expert human decision-makers. In this case financial analysts we're helping financial analysts, but the same principles apply to doctors and lawyers and anyone who needs a stack of research to feed every important decision. https://lnkd.in/dN8sNRgT #genai #generativeai #podcast

When GenAI burst into the public consciousness, our delight at turning simple text prompts into a unique images soon led to questions about the implication for artists and creatives. Now, there are genuine concerns on this front, but while AI can produce work at an unprecedented rate, it does have a key weakness: it's always looking at the past, while the truly creative mind is always looking at the future. In the latest episode of hAIghtened senses, Christo and I spoke to Sarah Sculley, an Australian street artist, about an artist's soul in their work, about GenAI in art, and about always being curious.

How would you feel if your art was used to train AI without your permission. World renown urban artist, Sculley, Sarah, shares her point of view. #Art #AIinArt #UrbanArt #Dall-E3 https://lnkd.in/dc4Pv3Re

One of the benefits of living abroad is that you get to meet an entirely new group of inspiring people. For example, Kat Roma Greer, who is doing great things in street art and, by simply living a few houses down the road from her in Hong Kong, gave me a little boost in cool 😎 I also got a little boost in my art 'collection', thanks to her work at Micro Galleries - including a piece by Sarah Sculley, an Australian street artist, creative business mentor, and our guest on hAIghtened senses today. We often hear about GenAI stealing artists' jobs, but, is this what the headline writers think or what the artists themselves think? Sarah gives us the inside scoop on AI and artists, and on AI for artists in this wide-ranging and often inspiring episode.

As someone that failed my audition to join the school choir in grade 2, due to my vocal abilities, Suno has enabled us tone deaf individuals to create pretty descent songs with just a few key strokes. Co-host Brendan Le Grange, a.k.a DJ B.L.G. compiled a unique song for each guest. Enjoy the playlist 🎵. #Suno #Unique #FootTapping #ExperimentalMusic #AI #Podcast

When Christo van Zyl and I started hAIghtened senses, we didn't want to just talk about AI innovation, we wanted to embed it into the show itself—and one way to do that was with AI-generated music. So after trying a few options, we used Suno to create our theme tune. And when we loved the results, we went a step further and used the same tech to create bespoke outro jingles for every episode. From Eurodance bangers about Icelandic volcanoes to a melancholic country song about a lovesick beetle tricked by pheromones, it's all there, and all compiled in this week's bonus minisode covering for my recent time off in Belfast. https://lnkd.in/d2ZpB4r5
