Ascenti: Humans Opening to AI

"The Ascenti AI Project" is about AI and Creativity. Ascenti: Humans Opening to AI book features a diverse group of professionals, known as "creatives," who specialize in visual art, writing, photography, audiobook performance, music, and computer games.

These individuals experiment by inspiring AI apps to generate works based on prompts derived from their original artworks and writings, then interpret AI's outcomes. Some of the creatives find that AI provides positive solutions to overcome visual or other challenges they face. Other creatives uncover methods where AI supplements or amplifies their artistic visions. Conversely, there are those who voice AI's limitations and shortcomings. The Ascenti Project includes the book Ascenti: Humans Opening to AI, the website at ascenti-project.com, and Durvile & UpRoute's "Ascenti-AI 2024: Symposium on AI and Creative Arts," held in April, 2024 in partnership with the Calgary Public Library.
