Last month, I had the opportunity to participate in a talk show called “Arta de a Fi”, where they discussed the topic of Human Emotions vs. Artificial Intelligence. Alongside psychologist Mircea Miclea, I shared my experiences as a photographer who uses AI software to enhance my work.

During the show, the relationship between human emotions and artificial intelligence was explored, focusing on the role of AI in creative fields such as photography. As an artist who works with AI, I believe that this technology has the potential to augment human creativity, rather than replace it.

AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns that humans may miss, leading to new insights and perspectives. In my work as a photographer, I use AI to enhance my images, creating a more immersive and emotionally resonant experience for the viewer.

However, we also discussed the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on AI. For instance, if we allow AI to make all our creative decisions, we risk losing the human touch that makes art so special. Moreover, as AI becomes more advanced, there is a risk that it could start to mimic human emotions and behaviors without truly understanding them.

Dr. Miclea provided a valuable psychological perspective on the topic, emphasizing the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence in human interactions. While AI can be programmed to simulate emotions, it cannot truly feel them. Therefore, he argued that we must remain vigilant in ensuring that AI does not replace human connection and empathy in fields such as healthcare and counseling.

Overall, our discussion on “Arta de a Fi” highlighted the complex relationship between human emotions and artificial intelligence. While AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives, we must also be mindful of its limitations and the need to maintain our emotional connections with one another. As an artist who works with AI, I believe that this technology can enhance our creativity and emotional expression, but it is up to us to ensure that it remains a tool rather than a replacement for human ingenuity and emotion.
