Carnegie Mellon University\u2019s College of Fine Arts will lead a two-year study on how artificial intelligence can be integrated in arts education.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to help folks in higher education and schools talk about how we should work creatively, skillfully and ethically with AI,\u201d said Daragh <\/a>Byrne<\/a>, who teaches at CMU\u2019s School of Architecture, based in the Computational Design program. \u201cEvery campus was navigating it on their own. This will be a national study, and it\u2019s to be able to put all in one conversation, share resources and put information out to engage AI more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n The study is funded by a roughly $300,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, with a dollar-for-dollar match from Carnegie Mellon, he said.<\/p>\n Researchers will complete a fieldscan of how arts education and creative industries are responding to generative AI across K-12 and higher education, Byrne said. The study will also describe how higher education is responding to AI in arts and creative practice.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will build a coherent picture of how we\u2019re responding to it,\u201d said Byrne, who leads the Working Group on Artificial Intelligence in CMU\u2019s College of Fine Arts. <\/p>\n The research, Byrne said, is critical: The arts and culture sector is a $1.2 trillion industry in the United States, reports the National Endowment for the Arts, and AI may shape that.<\/p>\n Artists have adapted to the times before \u2014 Byrne cited photography as an example \u2014 but AI comes with different challenges based on its rapid pace of advancement. Concerns with AI range from intellectual property to the effect the technology could have on jobs.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a clear resistance to AI because of these concerns, and that gets in the way of engaging AI within education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The study will turn out a public guide for how higher education can train future artists and designers to use AI creatively, critically and ethically while preserving human skills.<\/p>\n Project partners include Creative Generation in South Portland, Maine; Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities in Ann Arbor, Mich.; and Penn State\u2019s Art and Design Research Incubator.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re trying to build ways with the NEA support to give educators, policy makers and families real evidence so they can make decisions about creatives\u2019 futures, without guessing,\u201d Byrne said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carnegie Mellon University\u2019s College of Fine Arts will lead a two-year study on how artificial intelligence can be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74],"class_list":["post-271556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
