Author Video Description
Is AI art ethical? Is it taking opportunities away from human artists? If you scroll through social media, there’s a high chance you’re looking at AI-generated work—often indistinguishable from human artworks. To explore these questions, I’ll go beyond our present concerns and examine past artistic revolutions—like photography and digital art—that once sparked similar debates. By understanding how technology and human creativity have evolved together, we can better navigate the future of art in an AI-driven world. Ngoc is a current senior at Concordia Hanoi. She is interested in various forms of art such as her favorite—painting—as well as drawing, music, and film. In her free time, she likes to go thrifting with friends, read, and play cozy video games. Ngoc will touch upon AI art and its ethicality in her TED talk. By examining how technology and creativity have converged throughout history, she hopes to help others form more informed perspectives on this topic. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
