TED: How computers are learning to be creative | Blaise Aguera y Arcas

The video explores the intersection of machine perception and creativity, drawing parallels with human brain functions. It delves into the history of neuroscience, highlighting Santiago Ramón y Cajal's contributions. The discussion transitions to neural networks, explaining their role in visual processing and learning through error minimization. The video showcases creative applications of neural networks, such as generating images and poetry, emphasizing the computational nature of the brain and the potential of intelligent machinery.
