Abstract:
With a paradigm shift in art and technology, creating artwork using Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become more common in our everyday lives whereas the role of AI in creative practices has been debated in various contexts. The paper will highlight the practices of and insights from three AI artists and critiques residing in the United States, Lauren Lee McCarthy, Refik Anadol, and Şerife Wong. They suggest that AI use in creative activities can push the boundaries of artistic practices and can challenge our traditional understanding of artmaking. We en-courage fellow art practitioners to learn from the artists’ in-sights and practices to help others encounter new ways to de-velop critical thinking and problem-solving skills by employing the conceptual fluidity and flexibility required for human-centered AI use.
