Hour-long conversations to explore what it would take for machines to develop qualities resembling human taste, and what the implications would be for creative individuals and for society.
We talk both to people with deep expertise in AI (researchers, entrepreneurs, investors) and to people in professions where taste is central (artists, designers, writers, critics, chefs, architects, curators).
