AI art

Wired has published a feature arguing that solving mathematics' greatest problems was long considered an art form, and that artificial intelligence is now changing that. The piece examines how AI tools are entering a field long defined by human creativity and intuition, prompting discussion about what machine assistance means for the future of mathematical discovery and proof.

Moscow has proposed new rules governing the use of artificial intelligence in art, according to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News. The report contains no further detail on what the rules would cover, who drafted them, or when they might take effect, leaving the scope and motivation of the proposal unclear.

A published critique takes aim at Demis Hassabis, the Google DeepMind chief and Nobel laureate, over his remarks on artificial intelligence and creativity in visual art. The piece challenges the claim that AI systems can genuinely be creative, arguing that machine-generated images lack the intention and lived experience behind human artistic work. It reflects a wider, ongoing debate among artists and technologists about whether AI tools produce real art or mere imitation.

A user known as @kc@chaos.social, linked to the Chaos community, is credited with creating a cheat sheet for accessible coding, including work done with AI tools. Others are now trying to track down the document, which they believe is hosted on Codeberg, the open-source platform, but cannot currently find. The discussion highlights ongoing interest in accessibility practices in software development.

The city of Moscow, Idaho is considering new guidelines governing the use of artificial intelligence in public art projects. The proposal, reported by Boise State Public Radio, comes as municipalities grapple with how AI-generated imagery and design should be handled in works displayed in public spaces. Details of the proposed rules have not been fully outlined.

A new evaluation from Fig reports that Astra and Anthropic's Opus 5.5, alongside other frontier AI models, deliver strong results on some agentic tasks while faltering on others, with performance ranging from web browsing to robotics control. The findings highlight that state-of-the-art models remain highly capable in some domains yet unreliable in others, a pattern researchers describe as 'jagged' progress.

A pixel-art soldier character built using vibe coding — writing software by describing ideas to an AI rather than coding manually — is drawing attention online. The retro-style soldier is described as 'here to destroy the internet', suggesting the character or its underlying game is spreading rapidly across social platforms and reigniting debate over AI-assisted game creation.

Artist and poet Jean Vengua has posted new ink drawings on paper, including a 2022 piece titled 'Looking Out,' alongside a project called 'Welcome to the iLands,' in which she describes being visited by several 'iLands agents' and asks, 'Someone is knocking. Will you open the door?' The work mixes visual art with a playful, speculative framing of AI agents in her creative practice.

Speakers at the World Leaders Forum, held at Columbia University, took part in a panel titled 'AI + Culture', discussing the growing influence of artificial intelligence on society and the arts. The conversation centred on the 'democratization' of AI — the idea that powerful AI tools are becoming widely accessible — and what that means for culture, creativity and global leadership.

A new survey indicates that more than 85 percent of Japanese game developers are now using AI in their work. The finding highlights how quickly generative AI tools have been adopted across the country's games industry, though the exact uses, from concept art to coding, and the developers' attitudes toward the technology remain unclear from the reported figure.

AI-generated character art of Lara Croft, the protagonist of the Tomb Raider series, has been shared online tagged with aiart and Tomb Raider hashtags. The post links to a Lara Croft guide page, suggesting the artwork is used as illustrative content. Interest reflects ongoing attention to AI-created fan art of well-known video game characters.

A Stanford University dining hall has taken down artwork after claims that the pieces were generated by artificial intelligence. The removal follows ongoing campus and national debates over whether AI-generated images count as legitimate art and whether institutions should display work without clear disclosure of how it was made. The university has not fully detailed the origin of the pieces or the circumstances of their removal.
