AI ART

A New Art medium? By Chrystal Allen-O'Jon

Will AI (Artificial intelligence) generated art take the place of human artists? Should we be concerned, or simply see AI generated art as a new art medium? I have so many questions about this new art form.

First, AI Art is defined as Generative Art and is a creation of art designed using a computer process that follows the artist's rules. According to Wikipedia, "AI art is any artwork, particularly images, and musical compositions, created through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs, such as text-to-image models and musical generators".

One of the first known AI artworks was created by computer scientist Harold Cohen in the early 1960s. Niio Art- www.niio.com

According to Artland Magazine (magazine.artland.com), "To create AI-generated art, artists use AI as a creative tool and work with algorithms to set up specific rules through which machines analyze thousands of images to comprehend a particular creation process, like a specific style or aesthetic. The algorithms then generate novel forms, shapes, figures, and patterns to produce new works."
