Will there one day be a digital Rafael? In earlier episodes, we heard that art created by AI lacks the originality of human masterpieces. Today, Patrick Butlin of Oxford University proposes a model for AI to create original art. By dissecting the notion of artistic genius, we'll explore whether Patrick's invention can produce new generations of great artists.

Art and AI is a new podcast series from the National Gallery and King's College London. In it, we discuss what the future of art looks like in a world of AI with art historians, literary critics and theologians.

The Art and AI Podcast is presented by National Gallery X, the Centre for Philosophy and Art at King's College London, and the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub.
