“The Wizard of AI” by British artist, animator and video essayist Alan Warburton is potentially the first AI-generated documentary, exploring the impact of generative AI on creativity and the arts.
The film navigates our current Epoch of “Wonder-Panic,” reflecting the mixed emotions of awe and anxiety that AI evokes within the creative community.
Warburton employed a range of AI tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E 3, alongside Adobe’s creative suite, to craft this visual essay.
Commissioned for the ODI Summit 2023 by the Data as Culture program, the short film challenges conventional documentary filmmaking and delves into ethical, aesthetic, and legal considerations of AI in art.
The project has sparked significant discussion on the future role of AI in art and design, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to technology that considers both its potential and pitfalls.
