Who gets credit for AI-generated art? – MIT Media Lab

Indeed, AI is a diffuse term that corresponds to a web of human actors and computational processes interacting in complex ways

In particular, anthropomorphizing the AI system mitigates the responsibility to the artist, while bolstering the responsibility of the technologist. Critically, this suggests that the responsibility that will be allocated to individuals in the creation of AI art will be dependent on the choice of language and framing used to discuss it

Although the humans involved in the creation of Edmond de Belamy were essentially cut out of the art’s creation narrative, the AI itself was often spoken about as having human-like characteristics.

Our intuitive moral understanding of actors and transgressions may be at odds with the inherent complexity of AI systems.
