Abstract

This scholarly article explores the application and impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of theatrical art creation, providing an analysis of the current state, challenges, and future development of the integration of AI and theatre. Through comprehensive case studies of various theatrical works both domestically and abroad, the article delineates four major “feeding” models of AI in theatre creation, discussing the specific applications and effects of these modes within the sphere of artistic creation. The symbiotic relationship between human creators and AI during the creative process is emphasized, envisioning the potential of AI as an innovative collaborator advancing theatrical artsalongside human creators. Despite present challenges confronting AI in theatrical creation, such as emotional depth and data dependency, the potential demonstrated in enhancing creative efficiency and expanding the scope of artistic expression is noteworthy.
