Artificial Intelligence as an Author: An Approach to Human–Machine Collaboration

Abstract

This paper aims to address an important issue closely related to the tremendous development in the world of advanced digital technology, artificial intelligence techniques, and the multiplicity of their functions and uses, as well as the intertwining relationships among various fields, branches of knowledge, and arts, especially in relation to translation, editing, and text processing. It is no secret that writers have moved toward combining the literary and the technological, realizing the importance of this interaction, which resulted in interactive digital literature, and later in writings across various literary genres produced by machines (robots) or specialized programs, to the extent that distinguishing them from authentic human-produced works has become difficult and complex due to the narrowing gap or distance between human and robotic literature. Undoubtedly, the importance of this topic lies in its specificity and the issues it raises. Thus, we ask: Can the robot produce creativity similar to or surpassing human creativity? What is its position on the literary and critical scenes? And what challenges may it face in achieving its existence? These are the questions that this paper seeks to answer.
