10 ways the 4th Industrial revolution will change Art and Literature in the 21st century

I foresee new forms of art that will incorporate human artists crowdsourced with users' needs to build a new art form called Synthetica. I foresee new abstractions moving from the 2D, 3D to 4D spaces, perhaps with augmented reality.

We will see a new music genre incorporating humans and AI. While the human sings, the AI generates a song and improvises.

New forms of literature will emerge; By working together, human authors and generative AI can create incredible stories. With AI providing plot elements and humans guiding the creative direction, this collaborative approach opens up endless opportunities for unexpected outcomes and innovative collaboration and creativity.

It will allow people to generate literature and art that were impossible before, reducing the barrier to learning art and literature. Art and literature will be collaborative endeavours that merge machine and man.

We will have to revisit many questions posed by philosophers throughout history. AI ethics, for example, have emerged from lessons learned from AI going bad due to bias.

We are already seeing this happen in various court cases involving generative AI systems that use a corpus of artists. Will there be a new compensation system like the one that we see with Spotify and music?

Art often has movements that run counter to the prevailing views in society. We could see art that is more emotive in design or that underscores people's fear, like dystopian AI art or robots throwing people out of work.

New modes of storytelling incorporating non-linear or multi-dimensional narratives allow audiences to experience stories in innovative ways. This could be in film and video games.

What art could generate your mood, hear your beat, and maybe enrich it with your personality profile?

Blockchain can help track ownership and ensure human artists and writers are fairly compensated for their work with royalties from companies that use their assets to build generative tech.

Nanotechnology could be used to develop new materials and techniques for preserving and restoring art and literature. For example, nanoparticles could be used to clean and repair fragile or damaged objects without causing further damage.

Nanotech could also create new art forms that interact and create new dynamics based on machine intelligence.

Artists could use nanoscale particles to create new colours, textures, and shapes that are impossible with traditional materials.
