The latest advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing the creative industries. Algorithms trained on millions of artworks (sometimes with copyright infringement issues) fuel new software that can create text, images, sound, music and recently even videos. This also comes with dangers: creative jobs are going to change, as creators will have to compete with AI-based art generators, with the risk of less jobs and changing opportunities. A new kind of profile is going to arise, the AI-assisted artist/designer – this profile is going to require artistic and design knowledge coupled with digital skills.
However, AI isn’t an artist itself and doesn’t have an artistic intent. Its aim isn’t the creation of an aesthetic experience in the audience, which means that the role for humans to play in creation (using AI as a tool) is huge. The skills of choosing and manipulating an art’s grammar using art fundamentals to create meaning and emotion are still relevant. It is a challenge especially for VET providers teaching art and design fundamentals to adapt their skills to this new and fast-changing automated digital environment.
AI 4 Creativity sets out to provide an introduction to this new field supporting VET trainers and providers to use new AI tools in five different creative domains:
- visual arts
- design
- music and sound
- performance
- writing and storytelling
AI 4 Creativity will enable professionals in the Creative and Cultural Industries (in initial VET or continuous VET) to understand the challenges and opportunities related to AI in the CCIs and to make their job resilient to today and tomorrow’s labour market.
