Introduction
Introduction
AI in the creative world is pretty polarizing. We recently attended Beth Coleman's exhibit, "Reality Was What Never Happened," to hear from creatives and faculty about AI, creativity, and ethics.
Ethical Concerns
A crucial point raised during the exhibit is the ethical concerns surrounding AI-generated art. Some argued that AI should be allowed to develop its own distinct modes of creativity, separate from human artistry. However, this raises ethical questions, especially since certain artists are suing image generation programs for using their work without proper compensation.
Impact on the Creative Process
AI tools have the potential to speed up production processes. There is a debate about whether these tools hinder or enhance the creative process. While some believe that AI will enhance human creativity similarly to other tools, there are concerns about barriers related to who creates and controls these tools.
Distinctiveness of AI Creativity
The question of whether AI-generated works can be considered a unique form of creativity was also discussed. There is a possibility that AI creativity could be distinct enough to be recognized as its own category.
Conclusion
On this week's podcast episode, hosts Beth Coleman and Rahul Krishnan delve deeper into these questions with guests Sonia Fiddler and Nick Frost. Tune in to explore these topics further and gain more insights from industry experts.
