Are there ‘rules’ for conveying emotion through art?

Futurum

For instance, I have collaborated with people from a huge range of disciplines to develop algorithms for detecting animals in underwater videos, exploring how crooked teeth change the perception of faces, and monitoring moisture transport in laminated wood. This cross-disciplinary work often yields unexpected benefits, sometimes years later.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.
