AI Can Never Create True Art, According To A Philosophy Professor

Sean Dorrance Kelly, a Harvard University philosophy professor believes that will never be an “autonomous creative agent” like a free-thinking human.

In recent years, robots with AI have created many beautiful works of art which have been highly appreciated. In December last year, a work created by artificial intelligence was sold for half a million dollars at Christie's Auction House. Are these works considered worthy of the work of human creativity so far?

According to a philosophy professor from Harvard University, the work made by artificial intelligence cannot be compared to pieces of art made by humans. Professor Sean Dorrance Kelly expressed his views in the latest essay in the MIT Technology Review that although artificial intelligence can create "a brilliant Go strategy" or "well-executed Bach cantata," it will never be able to become true creators as a human being with free-thinking ability.

But the emergence and constant development of technology have led to the value of creativity being reduced, as the computer has turned creativity into a simple binary.

Professor Kelly believes that human creativity will not be lost or buried by artificial intelligence. However, he is still quite worried about the importance of human creativity will be devalued and people will depend on the creativity of computers instead of developing their creative mind.

Kelly said:

The development of robots will become more powerful when it is capable of independent thinking and does not need human supervision. But that is the future's story, and Kelly believes that the paradigms may shift.
