OpenAI has trained a piece of software, known as Dall-E, to generate images from short text captions.

It demoed how the AI could create armchairs in the shape of avocados and baby daikon radishes wearing tutus.SpaceX founder Elon Musk looks on at a post-launch news conference after the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, carrying the Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifted off on an uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, March 2, 2019.

Dall-E is built on a neural network, which is a computing system vaguely inspired by the human brain that can spot patterns and recognize relationships between vast amounts of data. OpenAI acknowledged that Dall-E has the "potential for significant, broad societal impacts," adding that it plans to analyze how models like Dall-E "relate to societal issues like economic impact on certain work processes and professions, the potential for bias in the model outputs, and the longer term ethical challenges implied by this technology.

OpenAI has been competing with firms like DeepMind and the Facebook AI Research group to build general purpose algorithms that can perform a wide range of tasks at human-level and beyond. "From the creativity standpoint, this is a big step forward," Riedl added. "While there isn't a lot of agreement about what it means for an AI system to 'understand' something, the ability to use concepts in new ways is an important part of creativity and intelligence."

He said: "I expect there will be all sorts of applications of this type of technology, I can't even begin to imagine. But it's also interesting in terms of being another pretty mind-blowing technology that is solving problems we didn't even know we actually had."Gary Marcus, an entrepreneur who sold a machine-learning start-up to Uber in 2016 for an undisclosed sum, told CNBC that it's interesting but it "doesn't advance the state of AI.
