Edmond de Belamy, an artwork generated by a generative adversarial network.
Artwork generated using VQGAN and OpenAI's CLIP

Artificial intelligence Art refers to any artwork created with the assistance of artificial intelligence. For AI art is created autonomously by AI systems without the collaboration of a human (although a human may help contribute to the input of data the artwork must be completed entirely by the AI).

Tools and processes

There are many mechanisms for creating AI art, including procedural 'rule-based' generation of images using mathematical patterns, algorithms which simulate brush strokes and other painted effects, and artificial intelligence or deep learning algorithms such as generative adversarial networks and transformers.

Since their design in 2014, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are often used by AI artists. This is an AI system consisting of two elements. The first is the "Generator", the second is the "Discriminator". The discriminator is fed with images of existing art works, whilst the "Generator" attempts to create new images. The role of the "Discriminator" is to see if it can spot which works are computer generated, whilst the generator tries to create works which fool the discriminator. If the discriminator fails to spot a piece, that piece is considered successful.[1]

DeepDream, released by Google in 2015, is one of the more well-known AI art tools. DeepDream uses a convolutional neural network to find and enhance patterns in images via algorithmic pareidolia, thus creating a dream-like psychedelic appearance in the deliberately over-processed images.[2][3][4]

OpenAI released a series of images in January 2021 created using one of its algorithms "DALL-E". The program can use AI to generate a variety of drawings and pictures based on various text prompts.[5]

Sales

An auction sale of artificial intelligence art was held at Christie's Auction House in New York in 2018, where the AI artwork Edmond de Belamy sold for $432,500, which was almost 45 times higher than its estimate of $7,000-$10,000. The artwork was created by "Obvious", a Paris-based collective.[1][6][7][8]
