Thinking as an artist in the Age of AI means learning to coexist with a technology that is both a tool and a mirror. It challenges the idea that creativity belongs only to human hands, yet it also reminds us how deeply human our choices, stories, and perspectives still are. Artists—and any creative person today—should relate to these systems with a mix of curiosity and critical awareness: recognizing AI as something that can expand our possibilities rather than replace our intuition or lived experience. Embracing its potentials means using it to prototype faster, visualize ideas we couldn’t articulate before, or collaborate with a form of intelligence that thinks differently from us. But awareness of its failures and dangers is just as important: understanding biases, questioning authorship, and acknowledging the ethical weight behind the datasets that train it. Ultimately, AI becomes a way to stretch our creativity outward—to explore new aesthetics, new narratives, and new ways of making—while grounding the work in our own humanity. In that tension between what we imagine and what AI can generate, a new kind of artistic practice emerges: one that is more experimental, more hybrid, and still unmistakably ours.
