We envision Bengal and Kolkata as the epicenter of AI innovation, harnessing the expertise of our IT professionals from Sec V, Newtown, and beyond. Let's pioneer AI in art and propel our region to the forefront of technological advancement. AI art is there everywhere, over the internet. But it has never been exhibited  alongside actual real painters and artists. We want to display AI art alongside art created by real painters and artists to see how people react.
