Dr. Adam Dwight's session for Level 3 Creative Art students at Wolverhampton College explored AI art's potential and pitfalls. Focusing on AI-driven image generation, students interacted with tools like Leonardo.ai, producing and sharing their works. Rated 4.5/5, the session was a practical and inspirational exploration of AI's role in art.

AIart, also known as computational creativity, refers to the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of visual art, music, and literature.

It involves the use of algorithms, machine learning, and other computational tools to generate original artistic content.

But is it original?

The session, delivered on January 16th, 2024, introduced students to AI art. It covered AI's artistic applications, ethical and legal considerations, and controversies surrounding authenticity in AI-generated art.

Practical exercises included using AI platforms like Co-Pilot and Leonardo. AI for image creation, encouraging students to integrate AI into their art processes.
