Angel or Devil? Public attitudes toward AI arts from cross-cultural perspectives

Abstract: AI Art has attracted the attention of researchers due to the ongoing and rapid development of AI art technology. However, limited research has explored the different attitudes toward AI Art from a cross-cultural perspective. Based on the results from social media platforms and Natural Language Processing (NLP), the current study examines the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western cultures in recognizing AI art. Results showed that Eastern and Western cultures might share similar attitudes toward AI art, human-AI relationship, and positive and negative attitudes, while they might have distinct topics, such as contextual application and usage intention. Theoretical and practical implications might also be discussed in this study.
