Art and AI theme dialogue

Artificial intelligence plays a key role in the evolution of the economy and culture. For example, intelligent video generation SORA is about to disrupt related industries, the rapid fluctuations in the stock market have ignited the "shovel-selling" in the AI gold rush, and AIGC has shown great potential in the office field. With the advent of the AI era, it is important to pay attention to the impact of AI on employees, and it is necessary to emphasize the importance of employees' mastering AI technology. Mr. Ma Bin also mentioned that in order to adapt to the changes in the AI era, lighting designers should pay attention to the learning of AI technology to better meet the new demand for digital talents in the new era.

Professor Gu Qunye, Dean of the Academic Affairs Office of Shandong Arts and Crafts Academy, shared

The "reality" we think of is actually virtual. Professor Gu proposed the concept of "virtual virtual" in 2016, which roughly means that we are already living in a virtual world and are constantly creating a new virtual world. For the virtual world we create, we are God. He further talked about the relationship between machines and people, which has always been a two-way mutual control between people and machines, rather than the commonly believed control of people over machines. Therefore, he mentioned that our core competitiveness is actually the ability to tell stories. In a sense, the world we live in is a big story, a big game, and a huge program generated by a few lines of code.

Zhang Zhao, Chief Electrical Engineer of Shandong Provincial Institute of Architectural Design and Research Co., Ltd. Sharing

This article discusses the relationship between artificial intelligence and art and design, as well as how AI technology can be used to make breakthroughs in lighting design and then be extended to the entire construction industry, in order to reduce people's work burden. In addition, it also touches on the contradiction between social development and efficiency improvement, hoping that through the combination of artificial intelligence and design, people can have more time to do what they love.
