Artists + Machine Intelligence is a program at Google that brings artists and engineers together to create art with machine intelligence. We provide financial and technical support to artists and host interdisciplinary conferences. Our goals are to facilitate a rigorous conversation around Machine Intelligence, to open Google's research to new ways of thinking and working, and to support an emerging form of artmaking: collaboration between artists, engineers, and intelligent systems.
