DESCRIPTION:With the development of new artificial neural networks like ge
 nerative models\, it is increasingly important to talk about whether these
  systems are truly creative. But in order to have a conversation about the
  creative capabilities of these systems\, it is important to first identif
 y\, quantify and define their creative intelligence. It is also crucial to
  talk about the tasks generative systems like the DALL E and Stable Diffus
 ion cannot perform as opposed to the tasks that we\, as humans\, can. Some
  tasks that are akin to humans in terms of creative intelligence are those
  wherein an artist draws from her subjective experiences of her inner life
  to generate a work of art. \nBut when it comes to generative models\, the
 y do not have an inner life of experiences. The art these systems generate
  is a mere coalescing of information. Now the question persists\, does hav
 ing an inner life of subjective experiences really matter when it comes to
  the creation of artwork?\nIn this talk\, I attempt to explore the questio
 n of whether quantifying creative intelligence in generative models could 
 lead to understanding how phenomenal contents of conscious experience are 
 necessary in creating art that is sublime. \n
