We interviewed Joanna Zylinska, Professor of Media Philosophy and Critical Digital Practice at King’s College London, who is a leading researcher in digital media and technology studies, focusing on the intersections between culture, technology, ethics and art. Her work explores how technology influences our perception of the world and our understanding of contemporary art. The interviewee offers a critical and reflective perspective on the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and art, establishing herself as a leading voice in the field.
The interview delves into the intersection between Art and AI, questioning its impact on creativity and artistic ethics. The key points addressed include Zylinska’s early critique of AI art, which she deems as technical exhibits lacking artistic depth, and the maturity and evolution of the artistic field. The author acknowledges the progress and maturity of AI art and highlights the importance of questioning who creates art, for whom, and for what purpose.
The controversy surrounding the term ‘AI Art’ is addressed, and alternatives such as ‘computational creativity’ are proposed. The article explores how AI challenges pre-existing cultural and financial notions of art. Ethical reflections are also presented, challenging the notion of ‘ethics in AI’ and arguing for a deeper ethical engagement in artistic practice involving AI.
Additionally, the interview features ethical reflections, questioning the notion of ‘ethics in AI’ and advocating for a deeper ethical engagement in artistic practices involving AI.
