The growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the management of civil and social life as well as in economic and political organization has led to a debate on AI involved in various scientific, philosophical, legal and moral questions, including cultural ones. In this paper, after a brief presentation of the application of AI in art and culture, we focus on art production using AI and the digital reproduction of art which temporally precedes that of AI-generated art. The very idea of artistic beauty emanating from works of art produced with AI is consequently questioned, giving rise to a new creativity that is to be added to the human creativity of an artist's products. Lastly, the possibility is raised that specific generative algorithms may contribute to the resolution of the topical debate on the issue of attribution and authentication of works of art.

Abstract
The growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the management of civil and social life as well as in economic and political organization has led to a debate on AI involved in various scientific, philosophical, legal and moral questions, including cultural ones. In this paper, after a brief presentation of the application of AI in art and culture, we focus on art production using AI and the digital reproduction of art which temporally precedes that of AI-generated art. The very idea of artistic beauty emanating from works of art produced with AI is consequently questioned, giving rise to a new creativity that is to be added to the human creativity of an artist's products. Lastly, the possibility is raised that specific generative algorithms may contribute to the resolution of the topical debate on the issue of attribution and authentication of works of art.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
