FROM ALGORITHM TO AESTHETICS: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE’S PLACE IN CREATIVE SECTOR

Abstract

Traditional ideas of authorship, creativity, and artistic originality have been challenged by the nexus of artificial intelligence (AI) and art, which has ushered in a revolutionary era for creative practices. Both professional and amateur artists can now create images, music, poetry, and movies using AI-driven tools and algorithms like GANs, CANs, and machine learning models. In addition to increasing productivity and creativity, these technologies raise moral questions about authorship, copyright, and the possible replacement of human artists. While platforms like DALL·E and Stable Diffusion push the limits of visual expression, projects like DeepBach and Beethoven X show how AI can mimic classical composition. AI’s wider societal utility is also demonstrated by its application in cultural heritage and restoration, including the analysis of historical paintings and the reconstruction of lost artwork. AI has also changed marketing strategies through content automation, emotional targeting, and data-driven personalization. AI lacks contextual sensitivity and emotional depth, which are traits derived from human experience, despite these advancements. Therefore, it is crucial to strike a balance as AI develops so that it enhances rather than replaces the fundamental human characteristics that characterize true artistic creation.
