Artificial Creativity- Ethical Reflections on AI's Role in Artistic Endeavors

Abstract

<p>The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and art heralds a transformative phase in the evolution of creative expression, offering unprecedented possibilities and raising profound ethical questions. As AI-driven tools begin to occupy a prominent position in the art world, from generative visual artworks to music composition, critical concerns surrounding authorship, authenticity, cultural sensitivity, economic impacts, and audience manipulation emerge. This article delves into the multifaceted ethical landscape of AI's application to art, exploring the tension between technological advancement and traditional notions of artistic value and integrity. Through various case studies, such as the ethical conundrums posed by DeepFakes in visual arts and AI-driven restorations of historic artworks, we scrutinize the broader implications for artists, audiences, and the art market. Conclusively, we reflect on the balance between innovation and ethical artistic practice, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary discourse to navigate this nascent domain.</p>

Applications and challenges of GAN in AI-powered artistry

“…With each iteration, the generator becomes increasingly proficient, improving its techniques, honing its craft, all with the aim of fooling the discriminator. In tandem, the discriminator enhances its discerning capabilities, sharpening its analytical prowess to catch the generator's ploys [3]. This continuous loop can be visualized as a dance, where both partners constantly adapt to each other's moves, striving for perfection.…”
