AI and Art: Ethics, Creativity, and Redefining the Role of the Artist

How is artificial intelligence reshaping the world of art, and what does this mean for artists, creativity, and ethics? In this thought-provoking episode, we navigate the intersection of traditional and AI-generated art, exploring the anxieties, challenges, and opportunities arising from this rapidly evolving frontier.

 

As an educator, musician, podcaster, and digital artist living in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, I bring a unique perspective to this discussion, blending my passion for technology and art with a deep connection to nature. Together, we’ll examine the ethical dilemmas, economic shifts, and emotional reactions sparked by AI’s impact on the art world.

 

This episode introduces the Taxonomy of Alignment and Guidance (TAG)—a conceptual framework I propose for fostering ethical and responsible AI use in creative fields. From the philosophical question, What is art?, to exploring the role of artists in a technologically saturated era, this conversation invites us to rethink the boundaries of creativity and collaboration.

 

More than just a critique, this podcast is a call for empathy, understanding, and collective growth in the face of change. Join me in considering whether we’re witnessing the birth of a new renaissance, a breaking point, or perhaps both.

 

This podcast is part of SHIFTERLABS’ broader mission to explore the transformative potential of technology and education. Through AI tools like Google NotebookLM, I’m turning my long-form Spanish YouTube series, El Reloj de la Singularidad, into accessible English podcasts to spark global conversations about art, AI, and ethics.
