When you’re shut up in your house and you have consumed so much content that your eyes are beginning to feel a little square, maybe you want to try and do something else. It might be your first instinct to do something more creative. You can draw or write or muck around on that guitar, or maybe you could try something a little different.

We’re going to hit you with a big question: can an artificial intelligence make art? Google have been thinking about human creativity for years and have built a bunch of AIs to test this. And we even have the Machine Learning Institute over at the University of Adelaide who are giving it a go. You may not be a trained musician or artist, but perhaps you could collaborate with machines to make something completely new.

Try some of the experiments to see if you and AI can turn out a masterpiece.
