After years of inattention, the whole world has just awaken to
what is happening in the Amazon. “Save the rain forest” is the
cry of conservationists, politicians, and rock stars. The
movement has already sparked a confrontation between rich
industrials nations, which are new converts to the
environmental cause, and the poorer nations of the Third World
which consider outside interference as an assault on their
sovereignty. Scientists think that destruction of the Amazon
could lead to climatic chaos. Because of the huge volume of
clouds it generates, the Amazon system plays a major role in the
way the sun’s heat is distributed around the globe. Any
disturbance of this process could produce unpredictable effects.
As an American Senator has just said: “The devastation is
unbelievable. It’s one of the great tragedies of all history”.

Generative Art – What’s real?
There is nothing new about the concept and creation of
‘artificial intelligence art’ or ‘generative art’. However, discussion
of its legal and ethical or societal implications (both intended and
unintended) hit the headlines last week.
Boris Eldagsen refused his Sony World Photography Award
2023 prize in the creative open category on the basis that his
entry was the product of artificial intelligence. Mr Eldagsen
himself has sparked the latest debate by claiming that “AI is not
photography” and that the rationale for entering the Awards with
the work in question was “…to find out if the competitions are
prepared for AI images to enter. They are not”.
The reaction of the World Photography Organisation (running
the Sony Awards) has been to acknowledge the need for an
element of human involvement, which is the crux of the debate:
“While elements of AI practices are relevant in artistic contexts of
image-making, the Awards always have been and will continue to
be a platform for championing the excellence and skill of
photographers and artists working in this medium”.
[…]
The conventional (and long assumed) approach has been to
recognise the importance of the human hand to an artwork. The
question then is: to what extent is the human creator or inputter
the ‘artist’ as opposed to the generative system or is the system
merely representing the human creator or inputter’s artistic
idea? Flowing from that question is what that might then mean in
terms of the ownership and value of such works. The debate
looks set to continue in this particular context of imagery creation
and reproduction coinciding with the increasing availability and
use of consumer-grade AI image generation programmes, and
the natural inclination of artists to continue to create.

Text 1A2-III
In January 1948, before three pistol shots put an end to his
life, Gandhi had been on the political stage for more than fifty
years. He had inspired two generations of Indian patriots, shaken
an empire and sparked off a revolution which was to change the
face of Africa and Asia. To millions of his own people, he was
the Mahatma — the great soul — whose sacred glimpse was a
reward in itself.
By the end of 1947 he had lived down much of the
suspicion, ridicule and opposition which he had to face, when he
first raised the banner of revolt against racial exclusiveness and
imperial domination. His ideas, once dismissed as quaint and
utopian, had begun to strike answering chords in some of the
finest minds in the world. “Generations to come, it may be,”
Einstein had said of Gandhi in July 1944, “will scarcely believe
that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon
earth.”
Though his life had been a continual unfolding of an
endless drama, Gandhi himself seemed the least dramatic of men.
It would be difficult to imagine a man with fewer trappings of
political eminence or with less of the popular image of a heroic
figure. With his loin cloth, steel-rimmed glasses, rough sandals, a
toothless smile and a voice which rarely rose above a whisper, he
had a disarming humility. He was, if one were to use the famous
words of the Buddha, a man who had “by rousing himself, by
earnestness, by restraint and control, made for himself an island
which no flood could overwhelm.”
Gandhi’s deepest strivings were spiritual, but he did
not — as had been the custom in his country — retire to a cave in
the Himalayas to seek his salvation. He carried his cave within
him. He did not know, he said, any religion apart from human
activity; the spiritual law did not work in a vacuum, but
expressed itself through the ordinary activities of life.
This aspiration to relate the spirit of religion to the
problems of everyday life runs like a thread through Gandhi’s
career: his uneventful childhood, the slow unfolding and the
near-failure of his youth, the reluctant plunge into the politics of
Natal, the long unequal struggle in South Africa, and the
vicissitudes of the Indian struggle for freedom, which under his
leadership was to culminate in a triumph not untinged with
tragedy.
