Uses of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the World of Art: An Overview

December, 17 2022

It has been decades since the concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have been introduced. These forms of technology have, in fact, become significantly popular among the users. This is because you can find AI and ML in a number of places and industries.

Wondering which are the places where artificial intelligence and machine learning can be leveraged?

Almost everywhere. There is almost no business, which is not going to be benefitted by the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. However, the process in which AI and ML are used for these businesses must be unique and correct.

These businesses utilize AI and ML based applications offered by various organizations to get the most of these technologies. This, no doubt, helps them use the technologies in the perfect manner and move forward with greater speed. However, apart from the traditional technical organizations, which use technology, there are various other fields where technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, can come in handy. And some of these places are quite unique and unexpected as well.

AI and ML in the World of Art

There’s one thing that almost no one had expected earlier — technologies, such as AI and ML, can be used in art as well. It's true that right now, traditional artists are not really excited about the fact that artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used for creating art. However, that does not mean that artificial intelligence and machine learning are not going to be used in art. In fact, AI and ML based application services have helped artists and even people who are not connected with art to create various forms of art. Many of these artistic creations are a perfect blend of aesthetics, artistic skills, and knowledge of technology. Although various people might think that it has a negative impact on the world of art, the introduction of AI and ML in art is surely a great step forward. It gives the artist the freedom of expressing her views in the way she wishes. It also provides the artist with much flexibility of creating even stuff, which would otherwise have been impossible or too difficult while creating using the traditional methods.

The Journey from the Beginning

Art has a long history. Over centuries, various forms of art have evolved with time. However, the creation of visual arts mostly involved manual efforts of the artist. And during those times, technology did not have any direct impact on the world of art.

This was true until the introduction of computers.

Computers drove the users to experiment various things with it. And among them was surely the creation of art. From simple drawing in the earliest versions of in-built software, such as Microsoft Paint, to the introduction of software for animations – digital art has come a long way. This journey is expected to continue in the right direction with the use of technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Using Collections of Art as Data for AI and ML Based Application

It’s true that artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used, mostly not by artists but by engineers, to create artistic masterpieces. To understand how this is possible, you need to have the answers to another important question.

How do the technologies based on AI and ML function?

These forms of technology use data to form patterns, which can answer various questions. Therefore, the more the amount of data available, the better artificial intelligence and machine learning are expected to perform.

There is no dearth of works of art in the world. In fact, the creation of art dates back to the prehistoric times, when people were still living in caves. Therefore, it is never going to be a problem to feed the AI and ML based application for art as the form of data, which are required.

Using AI as a Creative Tool

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are two forms of technology. At first glance, you’re not likely to find any relation to these technologies to art. However, the advancements in the field of technology ensure that you can use artificial intelligence and machine learning for the creation of art.

The Process of Creating Art with AI and ML

How do technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, be used to create various forms of art?

One of the first questions that you need to ask while trying to find out the way of the creation of art using AI and ML is what is art.

If you look closely, any form of art is an amalgamation of different shapes and patterns, dipped in various kinds of hues. This is where technologies, such as AI and ML, have the edge in the creation of different types of visual art forms, especially paintings. These technologies help to create unique shapes and place them in the right way to create some amazing visuals. As an artist, you can use artificial intelligence and machine learning even to find out the best shades of colors for the shapes and drawings. In short, you can make complete use of AI and ML to create some visual treats for your audience.

AI and ML in Pictures

Haven’t you changed your picture into a digital art recently using an application?

A large number of social media platforms and the internet as a whole have quite a few AI and ML based websites and applications for art. These applications help you change your latest selfie to something more cinematic, or remove the unwanted parts of your picture and replace them with whatever you wish. These AI and ML based applications even help to make you look even better than what you actually are.

In addition to such applications to enhance pictures, AI and ML, as a form of technology, is used by developers even to create graphic novels. Ammaar Reshi, a person who is not at all an artist, created a 12-page book with pictures for children using an AI-powered chatbot. And he did this within just one weekend.

A New York based production house called Campfire Entertainment has also published a four-part comic series called The Bestiary Chronicles using AI.

Similar to these things, AI and ML is surely going to have similar other utilizations in the field of art.

Summing It Up

Even a few decades back, it was not possible for people to think of ways to use artificial intelligence. However, the use of AI and ML technology has now become quite popular across different industries. These are even used in the creation of art as well. In fact, the use of AI and ML has helped various forms of digital art to flourish. The perfect use of this technology, along with creativity, has helped a new form of art to flourish and become extremely popular. With the right use of AI and ML, digital art is going to invade almost every field. In addition to the creation of masterpieces with artistic flavors, it is likely to find its use in the other areas where you require any form of drawing or painting
