Ariel Kotzer on AI & Creativity at HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL 💫

On February 3, designer and researcher Ariel Kotzer gave a lecture at HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL in St. Petersburg, exploring the evolving role of AI in creative industries.

👉🏻The discussion covered AI’s impact on artistic workflows, ethical considerations in generative design, and the transformation of visual content in advertising.

Can AI replace artists?
"AI is just a tool. Like any tool, it can be used well or poorly."

What defines great art in the age of AI?
"Great art comes from experience, not just prompts."

Ariel Kotzer integrates AI with traditional artistic methods, currently working on a 3D-printed sculpture series based on AI-generated imagery. His approach highlights AI’s potential to expand creative boundaries rather than replace artists.
