AI’s ability to generate art autonomously has become a topic of discussion for most. From sculptures, to painting, to music and craft , AI can autonomously generate these in just one click. AI’s technique of enabling algorithms to learn from vast datasets and producing artworks, is pushing the boundaries of traditional art. On the other hand, human craft both classic and contemporary are also dynamic following different shifts and trends as well as influences, and as of current is being challenged by the rise of AI.

Ethical Dilemmas surrounding AI Art

With the rise of these well-learned machines comes some ethical questions that pertain to authorship and ownership as well as the loss of emotional depth. An ethical dilemma surrounding AI art is authorship and ownership. Suppose one creates art using AI, who should we give the credit to? Should it be given to the one who created the AI algorithm, the programmer? Or should  it be given to the one who inputs the conditions, the user? Alternately, when it comes to human-made art, the parameters of authorship and ownership is set to be straightforward.

Another dilemma surrounding AI generated art is lack of emotional depth. Human made art is delicate and resonates with life in a broader sense. These are some aspects that AI struggles to replicate and perhaps will never be able to.

The digital age offers us numerous options for artistic expressions. Although dilemmas and curious questions are still swarming around this topic it is important to note that it is still important to pose norms and values within the world of art. And  as we tread through technological advancements it is important to keep art both technologically innovative and still deeply human.
