AI Resilience Report for

Artists and Related Workers, All Other

They create unique art pieces or perform creative tasks that don't fit into traditional art categories, using their imagination and skills to express ideas or emotions.

Summary

A career as an artist is considered "Stable" because while AI can help with some tasks like generating ideas or speeding up routine work, it can't replace the unique human creativity and emotional touch that artists bring to their work. Human judgment, personal style, and the ability to invent new artistic expressions are still crucial and can't be fully automated.

State of Automation & Augmentation

Artists’ work is often very creative and personal, so AI tools for art focus on parts of the job, not the whole process. For example, tools like OpenAI’s DALL·E 2 or Midjourney can create images from text descriptions ^[1], but experts point out that AI usually automates specific tasks (like coloring or generating a rough draft) rather than entire careers ^[1]. In practice, this means AI can suggest styles or fill in simple details, but a human artist still does the main creative design.

Many artists worry about this: one news report notes that some visual artists sued AI companies, saying their copyrighted work was used without permission and fearing “the technology will eventually replace human creativity” ^[2]. For now, AI tends to act like an assistant – it can reassemble human-made images into new ones, as one analysis explains, but it still depends on the ideas and vision that originally come from people ^[3]. In short, AI can help with parts of art projects, but a person’s imagination and choices remain central to making art unique.

AI Adoption

AI art tools are already available and getting easier to use, but companies and artists will adopt them carefully. On one hand, generative art software can be cheaper and faster than hiring an artist for simple tasks – so there is a clear benefit in speed and cost. On the other hand, most experts emphasize that art often needs a human touch.

One panel at the World Economic Forum noted that AI “takes over specific tasks rather than entire roles” ^[1], suggesting businesses will still rely on human artists for big creative decisions. Legal and ethical issues also play a big part. Many creative professionals are demanding rules to protect their work: a recent survey of over 700 artists, actors and media workers found about 93–94% want governments to regulate AI and make tech companies compensate artists whose work was used for training models ^[4].

Most said they didn’t even know if AI had used their art to learn new styles ^[4]. These concerns make both creators and companies cautious.

In practice, many artists are already learning to use AI as a new tool – for example, to get inspiration or speed up routine parts of a project – while keeping the final creative choices for themselves. So far, the picture is hopeful: AI can boost efficiency on some tasks, but artists’ unique imagination, emotion, and perspective remain things only humans can provide ^[2] ^[4]. Young artists shouldn’t panic; instead, they can think of AI as a helper for brainstorming or editing, while the core creative work still happens in people’s minds and hands.
