www.cmu.edu/news: Artificial Intelligence has entered the art space. AI has been used to create paintings, music, literature and poetry to name a few disciplines. The use of algorithms in the creation of artwork raises tricky questions in the art world, possibly creating new gray areas in ownership and intellectual property.

Finally artificial intelligence has entered the art space! What an interesting article about artificial intelligence, ownership, and how that differs between music and fine art. AI has been used to create a multitude of multimedia: paintings, music, literature, and poetry are just the few mentioned in this article. The use of algorithms within these disciplines is the most interesting thing. Algorithms in artwork is a very tricky subject. Ownership is typically transferred upon sale within the realm of art, whereas in music and performing there is often a licensing agreement of rights rather than ownership. This entire article goes further into depth about these matters. I find it so fascinating that copyright and licensing is so difficult within the world of art. In addition, the fact that these lines were blurry before the introduction of artificial intelligence doesn’t help clarify things now. Ownership is an extremely complicated matter. And it’s important for these things to be clarified so that the rightful owners can be paid appropriately and appreciated.
The idea of a computer making art is really intriguing to me. Making art has always seemed like an intrinsically human ability, but I guess robots and computers can do it too. And honestly, they might be able to better than us one day. They would be way more prolific for sure. They would never have creative blocks to get over. Just like machines taking jobs, this could be a way of mass producing unique art pieces in a way that has never been done before. It would be cool to see and art critique looking at a piece made by a robot not knowing that and to see what they would have to say about it. I will be impressed if we can get this to the point where they are comparable to contemporary artists. Obviously, this will never replace art made by people. I think we are to self centered as a species to do that, but it could definitely have a place in the art world.
