Abstract
Technological tools related to artificial intelligence (AI) have a strong impact on the changes of practices in creative industries. With the development of creative technologies, the quality of AI-generated art objects has significantly increased. This is relevant in the AI art field, where AI generates art objects that is appreciated. The AI-generated artworks technologies in the visual creative industries, with accurate outcome, provides a new thinking and new aesthetic existence for the development of the visual creative industries in recent years. Because innovation and technological development are at the core of the economic growth process and of the evolution of the industrial structure of countries, AI-generated creative products crushed the future of human handmade skills dramatically. So, the essential question currently is: Will human craft and handmade skills disappear as artificial intelligence reaches beyond our limits? An opposite point of view still believes in the existence of group of special craftsmen called Takumi (Japanese term), and the need of their skills standards to be as survivor group of handmade creators in creative industries. This research investigates the possibilities and limitations of Takumi craftsmen and their artistic competences in the era of AI.
