Raised By Robots

I’m Nolan, I’m 13, and I’m trying to understand artificial intelligence by talking to the people building it. I started by experimenting with AI myself, but quickly realized the bigger questions go far beyond code. On Raised by Robots, I speak with researchers, founders, and operators to break down how AI works, where it’s heading, and how it will shape everyday life—especially for the generation growing up alongside it.

  Episode 3: Prof. Amy J. Ko (University of Washington) — What Kind of Builders Do We Want to Become?

  Episode 2: Prof. Ahmed Elgammal (Rutgers University, creator of AICAN) — Can Machines Truly Create?

  May 3, 202623 minS1

  Can a machine really be creative—or is it just following patterns? <br /><br />In this episode of Raised by Robots, Nolan sits down with Professor Ahmed Elgammal, a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and art, to explore one of the most debated questions in AI today. From his early passion for art in Alexandria to building AICAN—a system designed not to imitate the past but to generate entirely new artistic styles—Professor Elgammal explains how machines “learn” creativity and where they fall short. <br /><br />The conversation breaks down the difference between generating images and creating a...
