[Faculty of Sociology] What can we do with data science? (XNUMX): Automatic generation of illustrations

The Faculty of Sociology at Kansai University of International Studies has a Department of Data Science.The purpose is to develop students who are well-versed in data science even though they are in the humanities, which will be needed in the future society.By the way, how far can we go with data science and AI technology?

Take a look at the poster below.This is a leaflet for a workshop to think about the future of Amagasaki City, which I was involved in at the Faculty of Social Sciences.Don't you think it's a pretty illustration?

Illustrations such as these leaflets were written by people with high skills over a long period of time.Of course, the costs were also high.Well, this image is created by AI.AI-based image generation technology has advanced at a breakneck speed over the past few years.

Nowadays, the question is not only about "creating an AI that creates illustrations", but also about "making good use of this AI in society".

The development of AI also poses new challenges for illustration and painting professionals. As AI begins to work in the same space, it may be an opportunity to rethink how we use our skills and knowledge to continue to deliver value.
