Arguments for the Rise of Artificial Intelligence Art: Does AI Art Have Creativity, Motivation, Self-awareness and Emotion?

Abstract

With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), 'AI art' was born, and the concept of 'AI aesthetics' was derived. Despite the emergence of this new concept in art theory, the question of whether artworks created by AI have artistic and aesthetic value still needs to be debated in academia. While new concepts related to AI art are emerging, the discussion of whether a sustainable and critical theory system can be constructed in the field of computers and art, which is most closely related to it, ought to be focused on AI itself to explore whether it possesses similar characteristics of creativity and emotion as traditional art creation processes. This paper will first analyze the origins and possibilities of AI art and then explore the enormous impact of the rise of AI art on current and future human society in 4 dimensions: creativity, motivation, self-awareness, and emotion.
