The Yixing Zisha teapot sits neatly at the intersection of art, engineering and heritage. As such, it makes for an intriguing test case for a technology increasingly taking on creative tasks across almost every field of human endeavor: artificial intelligence, or AI. Research published in the International Journal of Systems, Control and Communications describes a computational system that can help AI generate new teapot designs without losing the cultural characteristics that make the craft distinctive.The Yixing Zisha teapot sits neatly at the intersection of art, engineering and heritage.
