Sumario:This paper aims to investigate how creative symbiosis between humans and artificial intelligence leads to redefining the artist in visual contemporary art, from the perspective of recent theories and practices. I will examine how the context of integration of AI into visual creation has normalized the concept of human-machine co-creation. The notion of creative symbiosis will be explored, highlighting how the artistic authorship is distributed between human and non-human actors. Traditional notions such as originality, intentionality and artistic genius are also being challenged. In addition, my investigation addresses aesthetic, ethical and practical considerations of these developments, outlining the posthuman artist as a hybrid agent, augmented by co-intelligence with machines.
