Is AI reshaping the boundaries of art?

Sometimes denounced as a sign of the disappearance of the author, sometimes celebrated as an unprecedented extension of human creativity, artificial intelligence re-enacts a tension that is fundamental to aesthetic modernity: that of the relationship between art and technology. These seemingly antagonistic positions are nevertheless based on the same assumption, that of a central and sovereign author, threatened for some, augmented for others. However, the issue is undoubtedly not the loss or perfection of this figure, but the reconfiguration of its function. With the emergence of generative systems, the artist becomes a co-agent in a process where the production of the work is the result of a negotiation between intention and algorithm, subjectivity and inference. This shift engages a relational aesthetic, where the boundary of the artistic field is no longer articulated between art and non-art, but between human and artificial. And in doing so, far from reducing or expanding the field of art, does artificial intelligence not make its boundary operational?
