This is a brief synopsis of an April 2023 TED talk by Eileen Isagon Skyers about the Age of AI, artists and art. The rapidly evolving world of AI artwork seems to have two major viewpoints: pessimists view AI as a threat to human creativity, while optimists see it as an extension of creative abilities.
The question arises: Can artists achieve true originality in the age of AI? Artists like Mario Klingemann utilize AI models trained on historical portraits, generating unique, real-time interpretations of human faces. Sofia Crespo’s “Neural Zoo” uses neural networks to craft surreal sea creatures and biological forms, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
Sara Ludy’s abstract art, modified with AI, extends creative boundaries through prompts like “torn edges.” Ivona Tau curates AI art, training models on her photo collection to create images that evoke fleeting memories.
Claire Silver collaborates intentionally with AI, evolving her artistic process. She combines AI-generated images from different models, creating a fusion of traditional and digital art influenced by renowned artists.
Skyers concludes that AI models, each trained on distinct datasets, function like different languages. AI’s ubiquity, like the fluidity of words and meaning in a shared language, suggests we are all co-creating with it, necessitating a collective approach to design. To navigate this technological future, embracing AI’s creative potential is essential. Artists offer valuable insights into these evolving realms, enriching cultural literacy in new image forms and predictions. Embracing technology, and specifically AI technology, multiplies creative possibilities.
