Towards sustainability assessment of artificial intelligence in artistic practices
share
An increasing number of artists use Ai in their creative practices (Creative-Ai) and their works have by now become visible at prominent art venues. The research community has, on the other hand, recognized that there are sustainability concerns of using Ai technologies related to, for instance, energy consumption and the increasing size and complexity of models. These two conflicting trajectories constitute the starting point of our research. Here, we discuss insights from our currently on-going fieldwork research and outline considerations for drawing various limitations in sustainability assessment studies of Ai art. We provide ground for further, more specific sustainability assessments in the domain, as well as knowledge on the state of sustainability assessments in this domain.
