Education should look to the way artists are embracing AI - Lucy Gill-Simmen, University World News

Of course, AI isn’t going anywhere. As an educator myself, I wanted to explore how my profession could learn valuable lessons about embracing this new technology. The model for this new approach comes from art. Artists have long been exploring the intersection of technology and creativity. One well-known artist who has embraced AI is the painter David Hockney. In June 2023, Hockney exhibited an AI-generated work on the Pyramid Stage at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival. Titled “I lived in Bohemia, Bohemia is a Tolerant Place”, the piece, created by Hockney using AI, was developed into a one-minute video to spread harmony through bohemianism.
