Philosopher: AI can never create true art

Kelly believes AI will never end up amounting to human creativity -- and worries that by placing less and less importance on the role of creativity, we risk substituting "machine creativity" for our own. "Human creative achievement, because of the way it is socially embedded, will not succumb to advances in artificial intelligence," he wrote. "To say otherwise is to misunderstand both what human beings are and what our creativity amounts to." Once robots learn to think for themselves, independent from human influence -- and Kelly believes that's still many years out -- the paradigms may shift.
