Assessment of Academic Art Stakeholders’ Stance Toward Artificial Intelligence: A Study From Lebanon

Abstract

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) is felt across all areas, including the art field and its perspectives, especially in academia. Using a quantitative approach, the study collects primary data through a survey given to academics, artist-academics, and professional art experts to evaluate their views on AI’s influence on the field. This paper explores how AI technologies affect artistic creation, such as producing new artworks, enhancing traditional techniques, ethical issues, and stakeholders’ opinions. The statistical findings give a distinct insight into AI's capacity to expand artistic limits, presenting various perspectives on the technology's role in enhancing rather than substituting human creativity. Data analysis is conducted using IBM SPSS version 27. The findings show that while AI offers innovative tools for creativity, it also prompts a reevaluation of concepts like authorship, originality, and the core of creativity. This research contributes to the ongoing conversation about the relationship between art and technology by highlighting AI’s role in shaping art creation and interpretation in today’s world.
