Asked questions/Topics:
- Can machines create?
- Shoud machines create?
- data, AI has been are trained with. Where do you see – if you take it as material for your artistic creation, the potentials to work with that?
- difference between using an AI based tool and software developement as part of the project/artwork/collaboration
- Your working practice, together with software developers
- AI FRANK, AI Mary – conceptual impulse as beginning or more experimental
- CENTAUR, interaction, human touch
- Who we are, singularity, human creativity reserved to humans?
- Do you have recommendations for artists who wish to enter this field working with AI and machine learning and art.

Asked questions:
- Can machines create?
- Shoud machines create?
- Collaborations between AI and artists
- What lessons or recommendations would you draw so far from the experience of working in this field of AI and art
- How should a cooperation between artists and AI be facilitated, how would such a collaboration be distinguished from the mere use of an Ai based tool by an artist
- experiences from the practice of AI and art could be made productive for a critically reflecting, and for responsible use of AI and the policies needed for that?
- Crossconnection due to this hype about AI and the increase of AI in artistic production
- Increasing use of AI based tools more in one segment of creative production (elevator musics, patterns, skript writing,s….) and not in artistic production, like we talk about?
- What do works of art created by an IA means for the human condition?
- Opinion about Debate/Discussion about singularity and hyperintelligence
- Open things

Asked questions:
- Can machines create?
- Should machines create?
- Money and AI art
- other relevant and interessting questions regarding AI and art
- Collaborations between artists and an AI, aquire further technical understanding or more own skills or working with or employ programmers
- Different segments of creative production – more mass production side taken over more by AI?
- Collaboration between artists and AI. Fine line deviding use of AI based tools in a creative process an and an actual collaboration between an AI and an artist
- What do works of art created by AI with the human condition/the human self image
- Opinion about Debate/Discussion about singularity and hyperintelligence

The reason for the interviews was the production of the book „The Practice of Art and AI“.

- What recommendations would you draw from your experience in the area of AI and art for researchers and artists, who start in that field.
- Cooperation between artists and an AI. use of AI based tools in a creative process versus actual collaboration between an AI and an artist
- A lot of talk about policies, critical reflecting, responsible use. What should/could artists do to enable a well informed discurse and critical discourse on that?
