AI-Augmented Creativity: How Mobile Apps are Empowering Artistic Expression

Abstract

The article explores the evolving landscape of AI-powered mobile applications for artistic expression, examining their transformative impact on creative processes across various domains. It investigates how these technologies are reshaping ideation, execution, and conceptualization while enabling novel forms of artistic creation previously unattainable through traditional methods. The article provides a theoretical framework contextualizing AI-augmented creativity within broader technological and artistic developments before analyzing specific case studies of mobile applications that have integrated AI capabilities alongside platforms that have deliberately abstained from such integration. Through detailed examination of how these tools affect artistic workflows, the article documents significant shifts in creative practices, including changes in time allocation, skill development, and collaborative approaches. The discussion extends to ethical considerations surrounding authorship, originality, and the complex relationship between human intention and algorithmic contribution, concluding with an assessment of emerging trends and potential future developments that may address current limitations while expanding creative possibilities.
