Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Art

Propose a Topic

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming the landscape of art and creative practice. From generative models and algorithmic systems producing visual, sonic and performative works, to AI-enabled tools reshaping artistic workflows and cultural distribution, the intersection of AI and art poses profound opportunities and challenges. This joint Topic brings together research from the fields of artificial intelligence, arts and humanities in order to map current developments, critically reflect on emerging trajectories, and anticipate the future of art in the age of machine intelligence.

Aim and Scope:

This Topic aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue across computer science, art practice, cultural studies, media theory and the humanities. By weaving together technical, creative and critical perspectives, we seek to advance understanding of how AI is not just an instrument but an agent of change within the arts and human culture. We invite original research articles, review papers, theoretical contributions, design-case studies and practice-based work.

Preprints

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.

ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.

iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.

iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.

v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
