How to define AI art, Zhong Kong, the founder of Ping99.com believes that it isthe aesthetic consciousness and emotional experience co- created by human wisdom and machine algorithm, with the former as the beginning and the latter as the end. It covers music, art, literature and other fields.
Jingyan Qin, young scholar of Changjiang Scholars of Ministry of Education of China, the professor of Department of Industrial Design at Beijing University of Science and Technology, holds the idea that AI is essentially the crystallization of group wisdom, and it is different from the artworks and artistic creators which emphasize individual intellectual property rights and have complete ownership. It has become the product of collective wisdom, sharing, and co-creation.
‘ AI art may no longer be unique. Everyone contributes something to it, so it is a sharing type, but it is very different from the uniqueness of the artwork itself and its value rule. ‘ Said Jingyan Qin. ‘ We have been creating, sharing and enjoying its spiritual and material values. ‘
Zhu Li, the founder of Innovation Angel Fund has high hopes for the future of interaction between AI and art. He believes that science and art always meet at the top of the mountain and that artificial intelligence can make everyone an artist.
There is not a conclusion, but more space for exploration is opened. The GAAC is an important official platform for multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary exploration of artificial intelligence and artistic blending.
