The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in various artistic fields has been a prominent topic in recent years, and the technology is becoming increasingly accessible. While using AI outputs instead of human artistic creations is relatively controversial and provokes disapproval in parts of society, AI tools also represent a way to save time in one’s own creative work. However, if an artist decides to make use of such tools, they must keep in mind that the use of AI involves a number of legal issues that have not yet been fully resolved.
How to approach the use of AI tools in artistic creation is explained in the Manual for Artists: Using AI in Artistic Creation. The guide was produced as part of the project Comprehensive Research and Support for the Development of Cultural and Creative Industries in the Olomouc Agglomeration.
