Historic AI Art On View at the Whitney

In the 1960s, British artist Harold Cohen developed AARON, a computer program that could draw and paint original work on its own. It was the earliest example of artificial intelligence designed for artmaking. A new exhibition at the Whitney, Harold Cohen: AARON, displays the work the AI has created over the years, and will also include live demonstrations of its drawing process in the gallery. Curator Christiane Paul joins me to discuss the show and what it says about our relationship with artificial intelligence today. Harold Cohen: AARON is on view through May.
