Abstract

This chapter argues that artificial intelligence systems cannot have aesthetic experiences of the kind humans do because they are not, and could not be, embodied in the sense that human subjects are. By explaining how aesthetic experience relies on determinants external to the brain, my contribution is intended to be three-fold. First, to clarify the aesthetic-cognitive capabilities of artificial intelligence systems as we currently know them. Second, to further our understanding of the kinds of aesthetic experience considered here. Third, and in turn, to put pressure on a philosophical aesthetics that (even implicitly) rests upon a traditional, brain-bound approach to (aesthetic) cognition, subsequently motivating a shift to embracing embodied-enactive developments in contemporary cognitive science.
