AI and Art: A Basic Overview

AI Generated Art

AI and art have been intertwined for decades, but the recent emergence of AI-generated art has sparked a new wave of controversy. AI art, also known as algorithmic art, is created using algorithms and artificial intelligence. AI art can be used to create images, videos, music, and even sculptures.

The controversy surrounding AI art is largely due to the fact that it is created by machines, not humans. Some argue that AI art is not “real” art because it lacks the creativity and emotion of human-created art. Others argue that AI art is just as valid as any other form of art, and that it should be given the same respect and recognition.

The debate over AI art has also raised questions about the rights of the artists who create it. Some argue that AI art should be considered the intellectual property of the artist who created it, while others argue that the algorithms used to create the art should be considered the intellectual property of the creator.

Another important thing to note is that while AI art is useful, it is generally trained on millions, if not billions of publicly accessible images. This means that AI could be considered to be creating derivative works, generally not able to be trademarked or copyrighted, and are not anything original. This is a problem that is currently being debated in the art world, and it is unclear how it will be resolved.

One thing is certain: AI art is here to stay. Whether it is considered to be “real” art or not, it is a fascinating new medium that will continue to evolve and grow.
