Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes creative fields, its influence on art education presents both exciting possibilities and pressing challenges. This article explores how AI-powered tools can enhance creativity, pedagogy, and digital literacy, while raising concerns about authorship, equity, and the role of traditional techniques. From early algorithmic works like Harold Cohen’s AARON to contemporary AI artists like Refik Anadol, the article traces AI’s evolving role in art and STEAM education. While AI enables new forms of collaboration and interactive learning, its classroom integration introduces ethical, pedagogical, and creative dilemmas. The article advocates for a balanced approach, one that integrates AI to support, not replace, traditional practices, ensuring technology enhances rather than diminishes the creative agency of students and educators.
