AB - In this essay, I argue the belief that AI cannot create true artworks only because it cannot feel emotions as human beings cannot be held. In other words, if artworks by AI cannot be accepted as qualified members of the art world, it is not because AI cannot feel emotions as human beings. For this purpose, I first present how social robots, the representative AI which challenges the area of human emotions perform their expected function, and then examine the strategies adopted by AI art programs. I argue that it is due to the implicit intuition that the essence of artworks lies in the expression of emotions artists undergo that people treat AI artworks more strictly than social robots. I show that this intuition has its root deeply in art history, but also indicate that there has been another, contrasting perspective that does not find the essence of artworks in the expression of artists. Afterward, I call attention to contemporary artworks whose primary concern is neither expressing nor displaying emotions, but the assertion of the ideas. Artworks of this kind show that AI doesn’t have to challenge the area of human emotions. The discussion in this essay ultimately proves that the deficiency of AI in its emotional capacities does not generate any trouble whether the artworks it produces crucially require the expression and the display of emotions or not.
