Creative disruption: exploring the impact of artificial intelligence in creative processes, fields and professions

4 INTRODUCTION The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has precipitated a paradigm shift in the creative landscape, catalyzing a convergence of technology and artistic expression. This exploration delves into the profound impact of AI technologies on various creative domains, unraveling the intricate tapestry of their influence in fields such as music, art, cinema, and beyond. As we navigate the intersection of AI and creativity, this examination seeks to illuminate the transformative potential, challenges, and ethical considerations underpinning this dynamic relationship. At its core, AI represents a technological frontier that has begun to redefine the boundaries of creativity. Chapter 1 lays the groundwork by providing clear definitions of AI and creativity, establishing a comprehensive understanding of the terms within the context of artistic endeavors. This foundational exploration is essential for comprehending the subsequent chapters, which delve into the nuanced ways in which AI is reshaping and augmenting traditional creative paradigms. Chapter 2 directs its focus toward the specific manifestations of AI prevalent in creative industries, particularly on generative AI. As a driving force behind machine-generated content, generative AI holds significant promise for revolutionizing the creative process. This chapter scrutinizes the technical intricacies of these AIs and investigates their applications across diverse creative fields, ranging from music composition to visual art and cinematic storytelling. By unveiling the role of generative AI in these contexts, we aim to understand how these technologies are becoming integral collaborators in the creative process. Chapter 3 navigates the ethical considerations and challenges that arise with integrating AI into creative endeavors. It addresses the evolving landscape of copyright, exploring the implications of machine-generated content and the ethical quandaries surrounding authorship. This chapter aims to provide a nuanced perspective on the ethical considerations that accompany the coexistence of human creativity and machine- generated art.
