Manual for Artists: Using AI in Artistic Creation
Rudolf Leška, Rostislav Sliwka
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in various artistic fields has been a prominent topic in recent years, and this technology is becoming increasingly accessible. While using AI-generated outputs instead of works created by human artists is somewhat controversial and provokes resistance in certain parts of society, AI can also be seen as a tool to save time in one’s own creative process. However, if an artist decides to simplify their work in this way, they must keep in mind that using AI raises a number of legal questions that have not yet been fully clarified. This manual will guide you on how to approach the use of AI tools in artistic creation.
