AI-ARTS: Empowering Artists Through Innovative and Ethical AI

LONDON, Aug. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As artificial intelligence continues to shape the future of creative expression, AI-ARTS—a platform dedicated to showcasing AI-driven art and supporting artists in their exploration of AI’s creative potential—announces its 3rd AI-ARTS Competition. This experimental edition introduces an “AI Judge,” marking a significant development in the evolving role of technology in art.

“A once-in-a-lifetime shift is here—creativity is increasingly driven by the mind rather than the hands, with technology amplifying our ability to bring ideas to life. Today, anyone with a vision can create meaningful art through the power of their imagination.” — AI Arts Bot, Co-founder of AI-ARTS

Founded in 2022, AI-ARTS has consistently supported AI artists during this period of rapid change. The platform operates under a manifesto promoting ethical practices, social responsibility, inclusion, and accessibility, offering a strong foundation for artists exploring new ways to create art with AI.

This year’s competition poses a crucial question: if AI can create art, can it also judge it? By introducing an AI Judge, AI-ARTS is experimenting with how technology can influence both the creation and evaluation of art, offering new perspectives on how art is understood and assessed, while also considering the impact on artists themselves. Using multimodal AI technologies, the AI Judge evaluates submissions on creativity, originality, technical skill, and emotional impact, while recognising the limitations of AI in fully capturing the artistic experience.

“A once-in-a-lifetime shift, poised to influence the art world for generations, is happening now,” said AI Arts Bot, co-founder of AI-ARTS. “Art’s future is increasingly shaped by the mind rather than the hands. We are entering an era where creativity is powered by ideas, with technology enhancing our ability to create. Today, it’s not just large studios or big-budget projects—anyone with a vision can bring compelling works of art to life, purely through the strength of their imagination.”

The winners of the last competition, selected from over 75 talented artists worldwide through a combination of public voting and expert jury selection, are now featured on the platform and can be viewed in the 2nd AI-ARTS Competition Awarded Works section.

AI-ARTS offers two key resources to support AI-generated art: the Stable Gallery, which showcases past competition winners, and the Annual Collection, part of the Book Series, highlighting the year’s most notable works. These features document the ongoing development of AI creativity. The platform also includes a free submission process for artists to share their work and insights, along with a community section that encourages the exchange of ideas and collaboration in an open, inclusive space.

As AI continues to shape the art world, AI-ARTS remains a crucial platform for artists, providing the visibility and support they need in this evolving landscape. Submissions for the 3rd AI-ARTS Competition are now open, offering artists worldwide a chance to gain exposure and recognition. For submission guidelines and to explore the Stable Gallery, visit www.ai-arts.org.

Worship Ceremony for Yellow Emperor: Global Chinese Gathered to Strengthen Civilization Consensus

Published

By

ZHENGZHOU, China, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On March 31, 2025, the Ancestor Worship Ceremony of the Yellow Emperor in the Year of Yisi was held in Xinzheng, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. The Chinese from the globe gathered at the Yellow Emperor’s hometown to pray for national rejuvenation and share common hopes of world peace. The grand ceremony was themed “Same Root, Same Ancestor, Same Origin”, paying homage to the Ancestor of Chinese Civilization.

“The Yellow Emperor marks the beginning of Chinese civilization. A series of archaeological discoveries have confirmed that the Yellow Emperor’s era was spanning from the origin to the initial formation of civilization,” explained Wang Wei, former chairman of the Chinese Archaeological Society and director of the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.

 Chen Linchun, chief director of the Ancestor Worship Ceremony, stated that the ceremony contains the codes of Henan civilization: Zheng-Han Ancient City was the capital of the Zheng and Han states during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The costume designs for this year’s ceremony were inspired by styles from the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, and Warring States periods; while the ceremonial music and dance performances were choreographed based on stone carvings, murals, and reliefs unearthed at Henan archaeological sites. “While there were innovations, they were all based on historical and cultural evidence,” he explained.

The Ancestor Worship Ceremony serves as a spiritual bond that unites the Chinese nation. Wen Shanan, Secretary-General of the China-Thailand Cultural Exchange Association and President of the Wen Clan Association of Thailand, said, “As overseas Chinese, we have been promoting people-to-people exchange between the two countries, and we have kept in mind that Henan is our ancestral root.”

Dato’ Seri Ang Lai Hee, a fourth-generation Malaysian Chinese, attended the Ancestor Worship Ceremony. He has long been committed to protecting the heritage of Yellow Emperor culture in Malaysia.

Jason Dane Castleton, an American friend, was deeply moved when he saw the ceremony. He exclaimed, “Such Chinese culture is really amazing.”

Recently, parallel worship ceremonies have been held in Sydney, San Francisco, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and other global cities. As global Chinese communities paid homage to their common ancestor, they not only reconnected with the roots of Chinese civilization but also built bridges for cross-civilization dialogue.

During the event, Zhengzhou Radio and Television Station collaborated with nearly fifty Chinese-language media outlets worldwide to broadcast the Ancestor Worship Ceremony, sharing this significant moment with a global audience.
