The effects of AI on the creative industries

This report examines and assesses the level of activity concerning the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the creative industries and the combination of the two. The British organization Nesta prepared this report. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have had a large impact on the creative industries. A great deal of creative content such as images, audio, and text is now created, distributed, and consumed digitally. Large volumes of creative content on platforms such as Spotify and YouTube are recommended to us for consumption using artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning. Creative content can also be analyzed directly using machine learning. AI tools have become more efficient in recent years, and thanks to open-source software access to them has become simpler as well. Recent developments such as generative adversarial networks (GAN) have created new paths for creativity and have influenced artistic activity. Digital change is a driver of convergence in creative domains, such that advances in artificial intelligence in one creative domain can also find their way into other creative domains. The use of video game technologies in visual effects and architecture is an example of this. As a result, artificial intelligence has had a large impact on creative activity.
