Is “AI art” just meaningless slop that threatens the work of human artists? Or is there more to computer-generated content? Drawing on the history of the mechanisation of human craft, science fiction author Ken Liu devises a framework for productively speculating about AI’s future in the creative fields. As an artist who cares deeply about the human spirit in art and the possibilities opened up by new tools, Ken highlights the potential and challenges behind how AI may change the way we think about and create art.
