Ubuntu, Art And Artificial Intelligence: Toward A Relational Ethics Of Creation

Auteurs : Medkour Berrezoug .

Résumé

This article examines the relationships between Ubuntu philosophy, art theory, and the transformations introduced by generative artificial intelligence. The central hypothesis is that Ubuntu, as a relational philosophy of personhood, constitutes a particularly relevant framework for evaluating the mutations of artistic creation in the algorithmic era. The analysis reconstructs Ubuntu across three dimensions ontological, ethical, and political and mobilizes this reconstruction to rethink art as communal mediation, to situate the free and open-source software tradition within an Ubuntu ethics of sharing, and to evaluate the specific challenges posed by generative AI to authorship, cultural memory, and creative justice. Five Ubuntu-derived criteria are proposed for evaluating AI-assisted creation: recognition of cultural sources, reciprocity toward communities, justice in corpus constitution, preservation of cultural diversity, and the maintenance of a significant human contribution. The article concludes by translating these criteria into concrete institutional and governance proposals.
