Abstract
During the 21st century, art has taken an interesting turn. It has began to shift into more technological mediums such as photoshop or digital art programs like Procreate. However, what no one expected was a shift towards AI art generation. Recently AI art has created a stir in the art world. There is much debate on whether or not AI art can even be considered art. Some say that the lack of the creative process negates this consideration, while others believe that AI art generators can bring a new evolution of art. What's more concerning are the possibilities that AI art possesses the ability to reduce the already limited jobs available to artists. So is this technology good or evil so to speak? Well, the answer is much more complicated than that.
In this essay we discuss how the concept of such a technology began and how it is continuing to develop. We will analyze how AI art is programmed to work, and how these companies get the large sums of data needed to power these advanced generation systems. Most importantly we will analyze how artists are currently being affected by this technology, while also considering what benefits it could bring to the artists of the future. There is no clear path on how to act when faced with technology like this, but there are steps that can be taken to prevent any possible repercussions an artist might face. In this essay we highlight some of the regulatory paths that can be taken to prevent harm to artists and their livelihoods. In the end, we find a conclusion that is not as simple as we would prefer.
