Artists debate the limits of AI in creative industries

Artists and industry professionals are debating the role of artificial intelligence in creative fields, arguing that while AI serves as a powerful tool, it cannot replicate human emotion and originality.

In the film industry, efforts have been made to establish “Human Generative Workflows” to ensure technology is used intentionally rather than accidentally. This movement seeks to create boundaries that preserve the human touch in filmmaking, though current guidelines remain non-enforceable.

In the music sector, comparisons are being drawn between AI and previous technological shifts, such as the introduction of synthesizers and drum machines. Proponents suggest that AI may augment creativity rather than replace musicians, much like previous tools expanded the accessibility of music production.

Bollywood actress Kajol and DJ Alok have both emphasized that AI relies on existing information and cannot shoulder the responsibility of shaping culture or expressing unique, original perspectives that define true art.
