Applying Artificial Intelligence in artistic creativity

Artificial intelligence has expanded its presence into the realm of art and has become an invaluable tool, making the process of artistic creation easier than ever before.

A notable example can be mentioned in the case of Ludwig van Beethoven, the great German composer, and his unfinished Symphony No. 10. This composition was brought to completion with the assistance of AI artificial intelligence.

The undeniable excellence of artificial intelligence in artistic creation is evident, yet an issue arises regarding copyright. To whom do the rights belong for works generated by AI? In today’s world, composers can rely on artificial intelligence for composition. By providing it with some basic guidelines, AI can compose without limits. In fact, the process of music composition has become more accessible than ever before, as one simply needs to harness the power of AI to create music. Many composers have embraced this collaborative approach.

Musician Jean-Michel Jarre believes, “We have to acknowledge that in the next 10 years, AI will be able to create music, novels, films, and we don’t necessarily have to fear that.”

AI is also applied in other artistic fields, such as sculpture and storytelling. However, given AI’s nature of data processing to produce outcomes, the question arises whether AI violates someone’s copyright. Will the legal system recognize authorship rights for the person who created the AI or the person who uses it?

Ryan Merkley of the Aspen Digital Institute in the U.S. states, “The U.S. Copyright Office takes the view that creative works need to be made by humans, and these tools have not yet demonstrated the unique level and effort of human creation required for copyright protection.”

Artificial intelligence is introducing new challenges to copyright law, and copyright regulations will need to evolve to provide clearer guidance on issues related to artificial intelligence and the resulting implications or outcomes.
