51±¬ÁϹÙÍø faculty and Chair of Design, Erik Brandt, was recently featured on KARE 11 News regarding the ongoing debate of artificial intelligence in art.

Having been interviewed previously by KMSP Fox 9 in September about this topic, the Minneapolis NBC affiliate recently sat down with Brandt regarding the future of AI and how it could affect artists. The college already has classes dedicated to AI, and students must disclose if they used any AI for any part of their project.

"We need to help each other use these systems ethically and how to still maintain the voice and the authorship that an artist and designer has to have – so that's tricky but we're not putting our heads in the sand," Brandt has said. "To debate around that – around what is original and what's not – is, in the end, I hope, going to come down to the voice of the individual artist or designer."

51±¬ÁϹÙÍø syllabi prohibit the student use of AI, unless the professor makes an exception.
