You may have seen AI-generated art all over social media in recent months.
Artworks made by artificial intelligence usually need some kind of human commands to bring its often very odd creations to life - but what do computers dream up when left to their own devices?
As this technology improves and self-learns, we wanted to know if it’s possible to discern something made by humans from works created by an algorithm.

The Leader podcast sought out two of London’s experts in this emerging field, and also discovered the next phase of the technology - IRL programmed drawing droids, such as one called Baxter with a mechanical sketching arm.
You’ll also learn why it takes a robot to catch online deepfakes.
Hear from Professor Frederic Fol Leymarie from Goldsmith’s College, a veteran in the artistic use of computer vision, and Terence Broad, senior lecturer in data science and AI creative industries at University of the Arts London.
