Can we define what it means to be "creative," and if so, can our definition drive artificial intelligence (AI) systems to feats of creativity indistinguishable from human efforts? This mixed question is considered from technological and social perspectives. Beginning with an exploration of the value we attach to authenticity in works of art, the article considers the ability of AI to detect forgeries of renowned paintings and, in so doing, somehow reveal the quiddity of a work of art. We conclude by considering whether evolving technical capability can revise traditional relationships among art, artist, and the market.
翻译:我们能否定义“创造性”的含义,如果是的话,我们的定义能推动人工智能系统发挥与人类努力无法区分的创造力吗?这一混合问题从技术和社会角度来考虑。从探索我们赋予艺术作品真实性的价值开始,这一条考虑了人工智能检测著名绘画伪造品的能力,从而以某种方式揭示了艺术作品的优缺点。我们最后考虑进化的技术能力是否能改变艺术、艺术家和市场之间的传统关系。
