AI x Art

At a time when generative AI systems are autonomously creating images, videos, and music, the importance of human creativity is increasingly being questioned. But rather than viewing AI as a substitute for our creative abilities, it can support and enhance them.

What purpose can AI fulfill in the artistic process, and which tasks are reserved for humans? In this workshop titled AI x Art, we will examine the role of AI in artistic discourse and explore the potential of generative AI systems as innovative tools.
