What is Generative AI?

Generative AI art is a type of art created with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) — It is also sometimes referred to as AI-generated art, computational art, or machine-generated art.

The word “generative” describes the fact that a computer program developed the artwork as opposed to a human artist. The name “AI” signifies the program’s foundation in artificial intelligence, or a computer’s capacity to mimic human intelligence.

Digital art, digital sculptures, and even actual sculptures are all examples of generative AI art. Any AI, such as neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and rule-based systems, can be used to make the art.
