Abstract
This chapter explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on art and creativity. It delves into the historical disruptions caused by technological advancements, leading to redefinitions of art and creativity. The chapter investigates the broader definitions of creativity, including its neural underpinnings and the role of agency in defining artistic styles. It examines the current state of AI-generated art, acknowledging its limitations while proposing AI as a tool for creativity rather than a replacement. The chapter calls for a new framing of the human-AI relationship, recognizing the continued agency of artists and the potential for AI to enhance human creativity. It raises questions about the boundaries and definitions of art in an AI-driven society, setting the stage for further exploration of the evolving landscape of art and creativity.
