Can Robots be Artists? — Hod Lipson

Today, I spent some time with Hod Lipson who is a professor at Columbia University. In fact, we recorded this episode right out in front of the university with crying babies going by and kids playing in the park. So it’s a little noisy, but I’ve been inspired by Hod for a long time, because he’s another inventor that worked on 3D printing early on.  He is at the forefront of what we’ve been able to do with computers. That’s the kind of thing I’m always really interested in.

He was actually inventing 3D printing at the same time I was, a long time ago.  We get to have a conversation about that…both of us were probably the two people who worked on inventing 3D printers for food. And Hod has since gone on to do a really cool side project trying to create a robot artist and it’s called Pix18. It’s not like any other creative robot that you’ve seen or heard about. Honestly, this is a difficult thing to get your head around: can a robot be creative? And that’s hard for humans to accept.  And so of all the people on earth to have a conversation with about this topic, I probably couldn’t do any better than Hod Lipson.  Towards the end of this episode, you’ll see. It’s pretty exciting because Hod manages to really blow my mind.
