- Title: Biases in Generative Art -- A Causal Look from the Lens of Art History
- Authors: Ramya Srinivasan, Kanji Uchino
- Abstract summary: We investigate biases in the generative art AI pipeline from those that can originate due to improper problem formulation to those related to algorithm design.
We highlight how current methods fall short in modeling the process of art creation and thus contribute to various types of biases.

- Abstract: With rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI), popularity of generative
art has grown substantially. From creating paintings to generating novel art
styles, AI based generative art has showcased a variety of applications.
However, there has been little focus concerning the ethical impacts of AI based
generative art. In this work, we investigate biases in the generative art AI
pipeline right from those that can originate due to improper problem
formulation to those related to algorithm design. Viewing from the lens of art
history, we discuss the socio-cultural impacts of these biases. Leveraging
causal models, we highlight how current methods fall short in modeling the
process of art creation and thus contribute to various types of biases. We
illustrate the same through case studies, in particular those related to style
transfer. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first extensive analysis
that investigates biases in the generative art AI pipeline from the perspective
of art history. We hope our work sparks interdisciplinary discussions related
to accountability of generative art.

This study introduces YaART, a novel production-grade text-to-image cascaded diffusion model aligned to human preferences.
We analyze how these choices affect both the efficiency of the training process and the quality of the generated images.
We demonstrate that models trained on smaller datasets of higher-quality images can successfully compete with those trained on larger datasets.

We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right.
In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations.
We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.
