East Riding Libraries are encouraging residents to 'get creative' for Get Online Week.

During the week, members of the library team will be at various libraries to help residents create stunning artwork using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) website. These sessions are aimed at allowing anyone to create their own, unique artwork, regardless of skill set.

Gary Smith, digital services officer, said: “Creating art using AI hasn’t been developed to make artists redundant; it’s here to make art creation accessible to everyone. We want to show everyone, regardless of their computer or artistic skill level, that with a bit of our help and your own imagination, you can create your own art – and learn some new computer skills along the way!”
