Creating Breathtaking AI Art with Open Source Technologies

Join us in exploring the fascinating landscape of AI-generated art. A data skills workshop by the Hertie School Data Science Lab.

2022 has witnessed a remarkable development in the world of AI technologies, with the introduction of a number of AI-art generation models that are able to create wonderfully detailed and beautiful images. It seems that a new revolution in the digital art and AI landscape is on the horizon. But the technology also doesn't come without its controversy and setbacks. 

This tutorial session will walk you through some of the most popular AI art generation techniques available on the market today, from styleGAN, Dall-E, Stable Diffusion to Midjourney. We will go through the explanation behind the techniques, how we can curate awe-inspiring images with prompt engineering techniques, delve into the discussion of their benefits, their potentials for both good and harmful effects, and try to create some masterpieces of our own in the exercises.

No coding experience is needed. However, coding notebooks will be provided in case you want to dig deeper into the techniques and build your own model for fun and profit.
