Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) 's emergence in art has significantly transformed the creative process. As a result, it has raised questions related to artistic autonomy and the role of AI in shaping the art landscape. The impact of AI on art and museum education is a hotly debated topic, and it represents a significant paradigm shift with far-reaching implications. For example, AI-generated art, created by entities like DALL·E and Midjourney, challenges traditional notions of creativity and carries significant cultural and economic consequences for the creative sectors (Kenig et al., 2023).

This article aims to explore the philosophical, practical, and legal aspects that arise from AI-generated art. It analyses the impact of AI on creativity, motivation, self-awareness, and emotion, delving into the fundamental elements of artistic expression. It emphasises the importance of understanding the influence of AI on art education and society and its impact on learning activities and educational motivation in art pedagogy.

While some argue that AI-generated art undermines the authenticity and originality of human creativity, leading to a homogenisation of artistic expression, others contend that AI has the potential to nurture creativity, enhance learning experiences, and prepare students for a future where AI will be pervasive in the art landscape.

This debate seeks to provide students and future creators with an awareness of the challenges of AI and its appropriate use in educational settings at all levels (Yusa et al., 2022). It also explores the critical conundrum of intellectual property and copyright that arises in the context of AI-generated art, analysing the legal implications and presenting relevant case studies and practical examples to recognise creativity and innovation.

Defining "artwork" to understand the property rules for AI-generated art becomes crucial for identifying creativity and innovation options. Therefore, this article highlights ways to thoughtfully and ethically adopt AI technologies to address contemporary concerns.
