Limitations of AI include bias in programmes which discriminate unfairly against minorities or other groups, impact on jobs and the question of ethics.


AI programmes have made it possible to create complex art simply by typing a few words into a text box. Human artists are concerned about these developments. Creative expression - which psychologically speaking originates from the #unconscious - is a deeply personal endeavour and it is understandable that artists are concerned and look at the win with unease.
