More businesses are adopting new technologies, and we’re seeing an increase in how emerging innovations are being introduced across industries. Humans and machines are increasingly collaborating in fields ranging from finance to nanotechnology and robotics to blockchain.
One approach, almost paradoxically, is to use technology in the fields of art and design. The introduction of artificial intelligence into design is a recent trend known as AI art.
In a nutshell, AI art is created when humans and computers collaborate on the creative process. It is the fusion of sophisticated software with individual imagination, and because it is a new design trend, the industry is still figuring out how the technology can fit into traditional art and design.
Is AI art, however, truly art?
It’s a difficult question to answer, and we wouldn’t dare to try because our Twitter account couldn’t handle the heat. But it is true that AI is already playing a role in the world of design, and it is critical to understand these design trends in order to provide the best design services.
With AI technology, computers can now actively participate in the creative process, with artists using them as a canvas, brush, and paint as well as a tool.
Of course, there is still a human component to them: AI may be capable of creating a new image, but the act of creating that image is still human-led. So, all you artists out there, you’re safe (for now).
What exactly is AI Art and Design?
AI in art simply refers to art produced by or with the assistance of artificial intelligence.
AI is a field dedicated to developing software and machines that mimic human intelligence and the process of thought using a set of algorithms. Artists use artificial intelligence software as a creative tool to create AI art. This is accomplished through the use of an algorithm that analyzes thousands of images on the internet in order for the software to learn about creating art and replicate the process.
An AI artist creates rules that direct how the AI software creates artwork using code. This includes instructing the AI to generate the work in a specific style and aesthetic, as well as selecting which content and subject matter to draw inspiration from.
