The merge of A-I in Art

Artificial Art does exists, and artificial intelligence affects how art is seen. However how will artificial intelligence affect artists in Jamaica?

Differentiating how art is created by artificial intelligence (AI) as opposed to the actual human artists comes down to experience. Artificial Intelligence artwork refers to art generated with the assistance of AI, but an artist creates and develops his art based on a number of factors such as events, experiences. Back in 1950s AI was introduced. Today the realtionship has evolved and merged as artists have been known to explore and experiment with technology along the way. It is exciting to incorporate AI into creating art, as with AI suggestions are made and the technique odf style transfer can be an exciting exploration. However the threat of robots being creative is one point for consideration. So it comes down to creativity and imagination after all. Robots can never outdo the imagination of humans anytime soon. Even after years of input of varied creative and imagiative styles and suggestions. Manking by nature is built to expand, renew and extend what they are exposed to. A mark AI cannot attain to.

Artificial Intelligence may be a threat to Jamaica?

Artificial intelligence, under the guise of technological advancement will change our lives forever. One definition is that Artifical Intelligence is 'the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.' Simply put artificial intelligence although created my humans, is actually demonstrated by machines as opposed to intelligence naturally demonstrated by humans and animals. In reality 'living things' are being replaced, becoming insignificant, even lifeless as lifeless objects come to life.

Jobs and skills as we know it will become redundant. Imagine robots creating art, and robots diagnosing humans first then eventually themselves erasing the need for medical doctors. Several jobs are therefore at risk as the selected rich determines that the world is overpopulated certainly by useless peresons who do nothing but eat sleep and make trouble. Think about it - the number of jobs fast being taken over by robots and machines is growing, warning of the need to ultimately be creative in the choices we make starting with how we educate ourselves. It's worth reading the article in Forbes magazine, managers and top level workers are loosing their jobs quicker than lower level employees.
