Machines Won't Replace Humans, But They Will Make Their Work Easier

However, it's not just about healthcare; big data is also penetrating the fields of art and environmental protection. For instance, the Digital Writer project, where a computer wrote five short stories, is trained on tens of thousands of different books and hundreds of billions of different words. Altogether, this amounts to 45 terabytes of data, which, for perspective, is equivalent to the entire collection of the National Library multiplied by five.

“Soon, artistic assistants will emerge, enabling artists to work more productively, making their work more mature and sophisticated. Big data will increasingly be utilised in the commercial world, in advertising and media, for creating logos, television programmes, and so on. However, I do not believe that human artists should be replaced by machines. On the contrary, they will have excellent assistants that will allow them to focus on what they do best and what they enjoy the most,” predicts Jan Tyl, an artist and director of Alpha Industries, the company behind the Digital Philosopher and Digital Writer projects.
