The Creativity Code: How AI is Learning to Write, Paint and Think. Written by Marcus du Sautoy. Narrated by Rich Keeble. These are the expressions of what Marcus du Sautoy calls ‘the creativity code’. Yet some believe that the new developments in AI and machine learning are so sophisticated that they can learn what it means to be human - that they can crack the code. Technology has always allowed us to extend our understanding of being human.

In The Creativity Code, Marcus du Sautoy examines the nature of creativity, as well as providing an essential guide into how algorithms work, and the mathematical rules underpinning them.

Will a computer ever compose a symphony, write a prize-winning novel, or paint a masterpiece? And if so, would we be able to tell the difference? As humans, we have an extraordinary ability to create works of art that elevate, expand and transform what it means to be alive. To celebrate the publication of his latest book, The Creativity Code: How AI is Learning to Write, Paint and Think, Marcus du Sautoy was in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries.

But Du Sautoy is a flaneur: his trips are not motivated by destinations. This is both the main strength and flaw of The Creativity Code, a wide-ranging and fact-packed tour d’horizon of current applications of artificial intelligence in mathematics and the arts. So much of what is written about AI is either hype or scepticism about the hype. Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer and perhaps the first AI-hype sceptic, wrote that it is desirable to guard against the possibility of exaggerated idea. he has no pretensions whatever to originate anything.

Marcus du Sautoy takes us on a tour of what artificial intelligence has achieved (and possibly can in the future achieve) in a range of fields from his own of mathematics, through game playing, music, art and more.

Now the Oxford mathematician and science writer Marcus du Sautoy has written this study of artificial intelligence and creativity. And buried within it, he confesses, are 350 words produced by a specialist essay-composing algorithm that was fed only key words. Did you notice? he asks. I did not. And the fact that I did not is a sign of what is to come.

Marcus du Sautoy is the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He's a prize-winning Professor of Mathematics, a fellow of New College, and a Fellow of the Royal Society. He's also the author of several prize-winning books and his latest is, The Creativity Code: How AI is Learning to Write, Paint, and Think. Here are the highlights and full transcript below.

What is creativity? Marcus du Sautoy, a mathematician and Oxford professor for the public. Spoiler: there is actually no creativity code, and AI can't yet perform artistic feats that are plausibly human. The interest of this book is really the journey, as our author travels around various labs to be shown the state-of-the-art in machine learning. Whereas programmers used to try to tell a computer everything it ought to do, the current art is to make a program that can learn as it goes along. So it was with AlphaGo, the Go-playing program that beat the board game's human world champion a few years ago, having learned by playing millions of training games against itself
