Artists on the Research Team: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Team Science, Research Rigor, and Creative Dialogue

Health Promotion Practice

S. Springs & J. Baruch

July 24, 2021

Artists may be undervalued as key research collaborators because of integration difficulties with experts who possess different bodies of knowledge & different ways of examining & valuing the world. The translation of arts in public health research into policy and practice is improved when artists participate as stakeholders, community members, and disciplinary experts.

Since AI is a set of algorithm, it cannot replicate the lived experience of a human being; therefore, AI is not able to create art in the same way that human artists do. Perhaps we can conceptualize AI algorithms as more than tools and closer to a medium and therefore not in conflict with human artists but can be a partnership for creativity.
