AI-based Art Education as Space to Foster a Creative Approach to AITech. A Systematic Integrative Review

The current relationship between humans and AITech raises significant issues, but, at the same time, it also has potential for humanization. In order to frame the complexity of this relationship, it is useful to return to the original relationship between human beings and technique. The relationship thanks to which the human being has been able to survive and develop some of its most fundamental features and for which we need to form ourselves early and universally since primary school. One of the promising experiences for training students in critical and conscious management of the relationship between human beings and technology may be the aesthetic one, in particular that of the visual art made through AITech. Specifically, this study concerns a systematic review of literature that outlines a precise framework of 16 selected studies on visual art training experiences made with the AITech in primary school. These aesthetic experiences are particularly central for students not just in terms of aesthetic creativity, but in terms of learning, of developing the cognitive and personal and social skills necessary for a critical-creative relationship with AITech.
