Case Analysis and Characteristics of the Convergence between Artificial Intelligence and Art Creation Activities

Abstract

A.I.(Artificial intelligence) has been building momentum due to network activation, information innovation, big data, and technological advancement of innovative deep learning as a result of the development of computers, and the interest in A.I is growing remarkably. There has been the merging of technology and arts for years; however, unlike A.I, machines have not had creative art performance ability as human have, but have only been used as a mechanical method of arts. A.I. field now is not only used as simple mechanical methods, but has also invaded the arts area that needs creativity which had been only for human distinction, and the controversy over creativity of A.I. is ongoing. However, in the distinct fields of academic research, getting rid of the barrier between academic fields and converging the scientific technology of A.I and art creation activities so that through the collaboration between science and arts, their collective growth is promoted and a new paradigm in the art field is created will be of great significance. This research intends to find out how creativity known as an exclusive human ability and area is connected to A.I. and what technics have developed A.I. in the creativity-demanded arts field. Moreover, this research aims to be used to shape new direction of artistic development as reviewing the characteristics of arts applied A.I. and to contribute towards the A.I. arts sphere under the unpredictable current situation. The research methods are composed of the following order. First of all, the necessity and the purpose of the research based on research background is set and specific research methods is drawn. Secondly, the research finds out the definition and history of A.I. and describes deep learning of the A.I. core technology based on big data. Third, case study on the field of literature, music, and fine arts that actively develop A.I. technics among A.I. art fields are selected and then through a case analysis study of the convergence between A.I and art, the current situation of A.I. artistic creation described. Fourth, characteristics of expression of A.I. based on case studies of A.I. artistic creation field is deducted. With respect to the results, characteristics of expression of A.I. arts are; creativity that creates new things that never existed based on learning data, pleasure that is felt through aesthetic works, convenience related to labour solutions during the creating process, and variability that changes from one to a total different work by simple technical operation or programming changes of new machine learning. In conclusion, the creativity of current A.I. does not create new things but rather recreate existing work via machine learning from already given data. To sum up, for now, the field of artistic creation of A.I. cannot replace human ability like creation, instinct, judgement, etc.; however, technical development of A.I. artistic creation is a big result to predict future possibility. In the fourth industrial revolution in which IT (information Technology) quickly moves to DT (Date Technology), A.I. technical development will contribute to improve our quality of lives due to increasing service industry and labor values. It will also help to inspire new creation in the art field. This paper is expected to help the culture-art field that consistently needs A.I creativity.
