As #AI gains a growing space in creation and art, how are the public discourses on AI in the arts shaping creative work?

It what we investigate in a new paper with @Katecrawford, @qveraliao, Gonzalo Ramos and Jenny Williams: arxiv.org/abs/2502.03940

AI is not neutral. AI narratives have long carried stereotypes and political agendas. It comes with stories, values, and perspectives that influence how we perceive artistic work.

➡️ Little research has examined how these narratives operate in the creative and artistic sectors.

We show that these narratives conveyed values about creative work, in particular:
🔹 automation over manual work
🔹 efficiency over exploration
🔹 concept over execution
🔹 artifact over process
🔹 short-term over long-term skills
