UC Santa Barbara Doctoral Students Build Neural Network to Paint Like Picasso
Classic Art Reborn as AI
Fifty years after his death, Pablo Picasso is painting once again.
The late Spanish master has been reborn as a form of artificial intelligence (AI), a “neural network” created by two UC Santa Barbara doctoral students to generate original pieces of art in his signature styles.
Inspired by a recent trip to the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, the pair fed their creation hundreds of online images of the artist’s paintings to plot and study, and it has since produced more than 10,000 pieces of its own.
