AI robot artists creating art, is it truly art?

Does art really require imagination?

Or is it more about the skill involved in the creation? And if imagination is a uniquely human trait, can AI robot artists ever possess it? Imagination is often seen as inherently human. It allows us to think beyond the visible, dream, connect seemingly unrelated ideas, and express them in ways that resonate with others.

We as humans can create mental images or concepts that don’t yet exist, a “what if” engine that lets us go beyond reality and experiment in the mind’s eye. Many would argue that AI hits a wall here.

Whether we value imagination or skill more highly in art, the rise of AI robot artists like Ai-Da forces us to confront our assumptions and expand our definitions.

Ai-Da is an AI robot designed to create art. She’s far more than a robotic paintbrush. With AI algorithms and cameras embedded in her eyes, Ai-Da can see, process, and interpret visual information, allowing her robotic arms to sketch, paint, and sculpt. In essence, she has the technical capability to turn her observations into works that resemble those of a human artist.
