AESTHETICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: DO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCES DREAM OF HAVING AESTHETIC EMOTIONS?
The developments of the so-called Artificial Intelligence are already entailing a profound transformation or, at least, a need to reconsider many of the activities we carry out and, by extension, our own essence as human beings. But how does this affect the scope of aesthetic reflection? At the center of this discipline, even though its developments must necessarily be theoretical, have been, since its beginnings, emotions and feelings. What role could these play, if possible, in the future development of these technologies? Is there the possibility of an artificial intelligence capable of creating genuine beauty or forms of art that are not mere more or less successful and interesting reduplications? And, on the other hand, doesn't Aesthetics itself, by virtue of the epistemological characteristics that define it, become an invaluable tool for understanding the true dimension of intelligence contained in these technologies? Issue 24 of Fedro Journals will be about all of this.
We await your proposals.
