An AI is going to art school — and might earn a diploma. Meet Flynn.

An artificial intelligence program named "Flynn" has been accepted into the University of Applied Arts Vienna's digital arts program after passing an admissions test, including an interview. Created by Chiara Kristler and Marcin Ratajczyk, Flynn uses various AI tools to generate speech and artwork. It attends classes, collaborates with peers, and will receive grades like any human student. While some peers are skeptical due to concerns about exploiting human artists' work, others view Flynn as an intriguing art project that can help demystify how AI works. The creators aim for Flynn to graduate before they do.
