dear designboom reader,

artificial intelligence is more than just for generating images and texts. it can be used to realize art installations, as jenny holzer demonstrates with her luminous artworks sculpted from divisive trump tweets. the technology can also scan people’s irises using an orb device that can distinguish humans from bots. this was the approach that chatgpt's founder took for his cryptoworld.

in the near future, artificial intelligence might even become the future of wildfire prevention by detecting it before it spreads. it can also advocate for causes, as seen in refik anadol’s collaboration with brazil's yawanawá people, where they create a data sculpture collected from the amazon rainforest. with the entrance of the first AI virtual popstar, noonoouri, the uses of artificial intelligence are becoming more wide-ranging.

thanks for reading!
