Sachin Dev Duggal | Art and AI: A Groundbreaking Exhibition at Tate Modern

The exhibition, curated by a team of international experts in both art and technology, showcases works from artists who have integrated AI into their creative processes. These pieces range from AI-assisted paintings and sculptures to fully generative digital artworks that push the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums. 

Sachin Dev Duggal, the co-founder of Builder.ai, supports the amalgamation of AI and humans and believes that AI can democratize creative processes. Duggal noted that AI has made it easier for artists without technical expertise to create quality art and access global markets. 

One of the show's curators, Dr Emily Chen, explains what informed their controversial stance: "We don't suggest that AI should replace human creativity; rather, we encourage artists to see AI as a powerful tool that can enhance and expand their creative vision. Photography did not end painting, just as AI will not substitute human artists; instead, it gives way to different expressions." 

Sachin Dev Duggal, one of the human-AI partnership advocates, believes that true automation will come from "AI-assisted humans" or "human-assisted AI", not from AI fully replacing humans. He argues that while AI can drive efficiencies, accelerate development, and improve cost-effectiveness, it still needs human input and interaction to deliver exceptional, personalized experiences.
