Can a machine (based on AI) perceive, understand, learn and in the end reproduce concepts about art?

Data science is strongly associated with hi-tech companies like Google and Facebook. Yet our doctors are increasingly able to collect large amounts of data about us too.  Find out more about this data, what we can do with it and what it will mean for how we prescribe drugs.

Can a machine (based on AI) perceive, understand, learn and in the end reproduce concepts about art? Jerry Spanakis, assistant professor of machine learning and data mining, will tell you.
