Panel Discussion: Can Artificial Intelligence Create, and What Is the Role of the Artist?
With the prevalence of artificial intelligence in our daily lives, it’s natural to ask, “What will be the future of art in an AI-driven society?” This question becomes even more relevant as AI increasingly appears in the creative domain. Across human history, artists have always integrated new technologies into their practice—from oil paint and printmaking in the Renaissance to photography, motion pictures, and computer animation in the modern era. AI is no exception, yet we need to understand how it is different.
