This article investigates the concept of creativity in AI and its place in contemporary art, suggesting new frameworks for understanding.
On 25 October 2018, an AI (artificial intelligence) generated 'painting' by Obvious was sold for $432.500 at Christie's. For a long period, a commercial with the heading; 'A Higher Intelligence with AI' was present in the underground halls of the metro train in Copenhagen. We are constantly exposed to the idea that AI has exceeded human potential in institutions, published media, and public spaces. This article proposes to take a step back and take a closer look, at the algorithm's, the machine's, or the AI's ability to create, with the question; what is creativity then, and where does it belong?, however, before we do so, let us start by asking, what is creativity?, what is AI?, and moreover, how can we study these terms in the context of contemporary art in relation to other fields of study, with the goal to establish a comprehensive overview.
