During the meeting, they discussed the project of the future of visual arts in light of the renewed uses of AI technologies, in addition to reviewing the global “AI Artathon” initiative presented by SDAIA for creative artists in various fields of art from around the world, SPA reported.
The meeting, held at the headquarters of SDAIA, discussed the relationship between AI technologies and visual and audio arts in addition to aesthetic arts, and how these technologies can be utilized to serve and contribute to the creation of new forms of art that are no less creative than those produced by human senses in forming artistic images.
They also discussed the mechanism and the future of the AI Artathon initiative.
The European participants expressed their admiration for the AI Artathon initiative, which provided creators from various countries around the world with the opportunity to showcase their artistic abilities and create works of art using artificial intelligence and Artathon technologies.
This initiative is one of the cognitive initiatives of SDAIA that aligns with the Kingdom's cultural character.
It has been integrated with the artistic aspect to reflect artistic concepts that draw inspiration from various Saudi cultural fields, particularly in natural heritage, heritage and archaeological sites, social heritage, and visual arts.
The delegation of National Culture Institutes of the European Union included French experts who closely examined the rich experience of SDAIA in the AI Artathon.
The first edition of the AI Artathon was launched in 2021 with the participation of 60 countries and 300 experts in data science, AI, and artists who competed to create the best visual art using AI technologies.
