The Hong Kong Baptist University's research project "Technical Construction of Hong Kong's Human-Computer Symbiosis Art Creation Platform" received a grant of 52.83 million yuan from the Research Grants Council for a five-year study.
The team will develop a human-computer symbiosis art creation technology platform. The research results include art databases, artificial intelligence (AI) creative algorithm systems, research theaters, digital art and policy networks, and creative application projects, so as to create a new era of art technology. It is hoped to combine music and visual art with AI, and focus on painting.

Guo Yike: Data itself is already invaluable
The research project is led by HKBU Vice President (Research and Development) Guo Yike and Associate Vice President (Interdisciplinary Research) Professor Pan Minglun. The research team will develop an immersive interactive extended reality media platform. The two parties indicated that they are currently discussing projects The details are mainly about data collection and learning machine applications.
Guo Yi can say that the collection of data is the most critical factor in the entire study. "Every step in our work is not done by no one, and it is new." "The data itself is already invaluable."
He also said that the nature of the selection variables should be very concentrated, and the quality should not be too uneven, including the nationality and recognition of the audience and the artist.
The team hopes to collect various data about human beings in the process of artistic creation and appreciation, including cognitive and physiological data of artists and audiences, such as body temperature, movements, brain waves, etc., and then convert these data into descriptive symbols for cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns.
Researchers hope to use the collected data to make machines understand the beauty of creative art and feel the emotions in the work, rather than just imitating the artwork created by humans.
Guo Yi can point out that data collection is the most critical factor in the entire study.

HKBU aims to create new operas with AI
Under this plan, Pan Minglun said that when the project is developed to the later stage, it can successfully develop super artificial intelligence artists, exhibiting cross-field music and art works created by humans and AI; artificial intelligence performances with empathy and emotion, respectively There are concert series co-organized by performers, audiences, and machines; and man-machine symbiosis operas—combined with immersive extended real-world technology, humans and machines work together to create a new type of opera in an immersive virtual world.

Pan Minglun said frankly that cooperation with artificial intelligence will involve ethical and privacy issues. For example, it is difficult to subdivide awards and bonuses for cooperation between humans and artificial intelligence, or when brain waves are used to collect human emotions as data, human memory is also used. These unknown situations need to be studied and reviewed in the coming days.
He said that he would also work closely with research teams such as Yale University, Cambridge University, Tsinghua University, Microsoft and Hong Kong Opera and other partners in different industries.
