Artificial intelligence art is visual artwork generated or enhanced through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs.

Artists began to create artificial intelligence art in the mid to late 20th century when the discipline was founded. Throughout its history, artificial intelligence art has raised many philosophical concerns related to the human mind, artificial beings, and what can be considered art in a human–AI collaboration. Since the 20th century, artists have used AI to create art, some of which has been exhibited in museums and won awards.^[1]

During the AI boom of the 2020s, text-to-image models such as Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and FLUX.1 became widely available to the public, allowing users to quickly generate imagery with little effort.^[2][3] Commentary about AI art in the 2020s has often focused on issues related to copyright, deception, defamation, and its impact on more traditional artists, including technological unemployment. Audience reception shows bias against AI-generated art, with people tending to value artworks less when they know they were created with AI.^[4] Opinions have also risen on the possible effect AI generated art might have on creativity.
