АBSTRACT: With ever faster entrance of artificial intelligence in daily life, a need arises for not only legal frameworks to address the novel issues and problems posed by this technology, but also for a comprehensive ethical and critical distance towards the artificial intelligence . As it permeates the realm of artistic creation, the debate on the issues of copyright protection through the utilization of history of art’s resources, on the reproduction of contemporary art pieces, on the creativity, on the collaboration between artists and machines, but also on the very issue of artistic subjectivity and his approach to this 21st century phenomena, is getting incandescent . This text delves into the ethical dimensions of AI’s involvement in creative processes, including themes of authenticity, authorship, and creative autonomy, alongside the treatment of artworks within ethical-aesthetic frameworks context . In addressing these issues, the discussion also considers avant-garde critiques of technicism and the diverse theoretical and practical approaches to understanding artificial intelligence as a medium in artistic creation .

KEY WORDS: art, artificial intelligence, ethics, large language models, artwork, generative adversarial networks, machine.
