AI-Generated Art: Boom or Bust for Human Creativity?

AI-Generated Art: Boom or Bust for Human Creativity?
Tuesday, March 21, 202311:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST
Virtual Webinar

Event Summary

From children’s book illustrations to portraits that populate users’ Instagram feeds, the number of art pieces produced with generative AI tools continues to grow. Generative AI is revolutionizing and democratizing many creative industries by providing more cost-effective, accessible, and versatile tools for creators. These changes will likely lead to a new wave of digital art that requires creators to develop new skill sets and change some of the economics of art production. However, some people fear that generative AI challenges the idea of human creativity and disincentivizes artists. Critics claim AI-generated art reduces creative tasks to a derivation of the content fed into the algorithm, and AI-generated art may eventually drown out “original content” created by humans.

Join the Center for Data Innovation for a discussion on how generative AI works, how artists are using these tools, and whether AI-generated art will be a boom or bust for human creativity.
