Mathematician Marcus du Sautoy and professor Elena Neira discuss with writer Jorge Carrión and professor Karina Gibert the revolution of artificial intelligence in the field of creation and the role of algorithms as the new cultural prescribers of our time.

Can machines create like humans? What role do the new artificial intelligences, based on algorithms, have in the future of creative and artistic disciplines? The revolution of the last few decades in the field of artificial intelligence is beginning to suggest that creative capacity, a trait considered to be exclusive to humans until now, has reached the machines. If we look at today's cultural industries, we see that algorithms have become the most important cultural prescribers of our time and platforms such as Google, Twitter, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, TikTok or Disney+ are the ones that manage most of the visibility of today's arts and narratives, with human teams working with Big Data and artificial intelligence.

In the conference Algorithmic Cultures the speakers will analyze this new panorama through the eyes and voices of the leading experts in the field. Twenty-five years after Pierre Lévy proposed the concept of collective intelligence, we will update it in the context of the outbreak of creation tools based on algorithms and the emergence of digital influencers and bots as new prescribers.
