Original title: Art, Creativity, and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence
AICANAn AI process developed for making art. is an AI process developed to make art. Its creators study patterns in art history and consider how those patterns can be modeled and taught to a machine. They argue that AICAN’s works should be considered art and understood in the context of contemporary artArt connected to the art world and practices of the present era.. They see machine creativity as able to work alongside human artists, whose art also carries emotional and social intentions.
Imagine a group making a meal together, with each person bringing different skills and tastes. It can be hard to decide whether a dish belongs to one cook or whether the shared work counts as its own creation. In this paper, the cooks stand for human and machine creators, and the shared meal stands for art made with their different strengths.
Artists, art historians, and audiences may need to rethink what counts as art and creativity when machines can make works based on patterns learned from art history. The essay argues that human and machine creativity can work alongside each other, rather than being treated as rivals.
The abstract presents an argument about AICAN and creativity, but does not report evidence that audiences or art institutions accept AICAN’s works as art. It does not describe how AICAN is built or evaluated, or specify when collaboration is useful. Its claims do not establish that all AI-made work should be treated as art.
