Abstract
Abstract in English Questioning the originality of art to artificial intelligence(AI) is also the same as doubting the performance of developing technologyover the human-power and the human-made. The world has turned into a heavily digitized space; its existence has become part of everyday life. However, artificial intelligence not only started to recommend contents and ring notifications for users,but they have started to learn how to see the world from their own perspective. To categorize, to recognize, and to use these analyses to create, and to create art is one of them. As Trevor Paglensays, “Something dramatic has happened to the world of images: they have become detached from human eyes. Our machines have learned to see without us...”(Paglen quoted in Strecker 2019). The emergence ofAI as a “creative author” is not only about machine-making art, but rather questions the true meaning of “originality”.How do we define the originality of art? Is it the artist or the pure creativity itself? Furthermore, if the algorithm is made by a database that was “provided” by human history, isn’t art made by artificial intelligence also made by humans? What are the borders of authorship? And what will happen once people start admitting art made bythe AI?
