Abstract. This research article is a continuation of the study described in the article «The main problems of AI implementation in the field of art: based on the materials of publicist 2018-2023». The results presented in it made it possible to highlight a number of problems and issues arising in the implementation of artificial intelligence in the field of art. Conducting focus groups and expert interviews taken from Krasnoyarsk artists pr. professionals in the field of art provides an opportunity to obtain more qualitative data on the issues arising in the introduction of AI in the field of art, to identify the attitude of artists to them and to obtain expert opinion on possible ways to solve them. Whereas publicity reflects the average attitudes expressed in society, the experience of arts professionals can demonstrate quite different results. The work with the representation of artists on the basis of the questions of the previous article is justified by the specific nature of these problems – they are largely formed by the peculiarities of people’s assessment of the ongoing processes. Thus, the question of the aesthetic value or the place of the artist in creative competition with AI can hardly be answered in an entirely objective way or find the only correct solution to this problem. The situation is similar with the problems of copyright and the danger of generated content. Opposing attitudes to these problems, the acuteness of the arising issues, and the ambiguity of their possible solutions together set a great value for the study of artists’ perceptions directly related to the sphere of art at the current moment.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, AI, visual art, modern art, Krasnoyarsk artists, interview, focus group.
