Scarso, Jacek Ludwig (2025) L'Intelligenza Artificiale e la (possibile) resurrezione dell'autore = Artificial Intelligence and the (possible) resurrection of the author. In: Festival di Filosofia di Campobasso, 20-22 November 2024, Campobasso, Italy.
This paper (in Italian) was published in the proceedings of the first edition of Festival di Filosofia di Campobasso, curated by Michele Citro in 2024. Responding to the theme of the Festival, "AI - risks and opportunities", the paper takes a specific look at the increasingly dominant role of artificial intelligence in the context of contemporary art. Drawing on key concepts in philosophy, from Kant's "Purposiveness without purpose" to Posthumanism, this paper looks at the risks and opportunities afforded by AI in contemporary art practices and their reception, with reference also to the significant absence of "pentimenti" in AI art, the term used in art history to signify the errors made in a work, revealing powerful insights into the creative process itself. A central concept here is Barthes' "Death of the Author" (1977). While recent literature suggests that AI makes such metaphor into actual reality, by literally removing the need for human authorship, the paper proposes that it is precisely in so doing that AI may provide an important turn in contemporary art, both championing the human-made nature of work that does not rely on this and, more importantly, by interrogating the very idea of authorship in more nuanced ways.
