While there has been an effort to recognise practice as research in Malaysia, much of it being suppressed by the need of recognition through 'gold standard' of academic publication. While the methodology definitely helps practitioner-researcher, nevertheless it seems to be currently recognised in only certain part of the world. Can there be a future of Practice as Research in Malaysia or Southeast Asia as an officially recognise method of learning, researching and developing within the discipline of creative arts?
Can artificial intelligence create innovations with the help of artificial intelligence, since the knowledge bases of AI applications contain what humans have already created before?
Can innovations be created with the help of artificial intelligence, since AI-based applications have been trained on existing achievements already created by humans before?
Can new innovations, including technological innovations, be created with the help of generative artificial intelligence technology, since AI-based applications have been trained through a process of deep learning on existing achievements previously created by humans?
The key issue in this kind of consideration is to answer the question of what is a fully new solution, what is an innovation. Generative artificial intelligence technology, combined with other Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, including Big Data Analytics and computers equipped with high-performance microprocessors, enable multi-criteria, advanced processing of large information datasets in many times less time than if a human were to do it without the use of the aforementioned technologies. Advanced information systems equipped with generative artificial intelligence technology backed by high computing power computers make it possible, through a process of deep learning, to train intelligent chatbots to carry out specific tasks and commands much faster and more efficiently than a human can do the same. In a situation where intelligent advanced language models that enable a machine to carry on a conversation with a human were learned on large collections of data and information, including online databases of scientific knowledge that contain millions of scientific texts and/or databases of other publications, the texts generated by intelligent chatbots will be created much faster than a human would and, in addition, will be generated on the basis of processing, analysis, inference, etc. of thousands or millions of different source texts. This is virtually impossible for a human to do. However, whether the texts generated by intelligent chatbots will contain innovative solutions, whether they will be created in an innovative way, whether they will contain proposals for innovative implementation of a specific task, command, etc., this will already depend mainly on how this issue will be programmed in these machines by a human. Unless, in the future, autonomously functioning highly intelligent robots will be created, which will be equipped with a strong general artificial intelligence and will thus be able to act independently within a certain range of independence, will be able to self-improve, repair their own faults, will be able to learn just like a human being, over time will become better and better at performing various types of activities previously performed exclusively by humans then perhaps they will also learn to solve certain tasks in a highly innovative manner themselves. But this is a matter for consideration for the perspective of the next dozen or so years of dynamic development of AI technology and its applications.
I described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Is it possible to create new innovations, including technological innovations, with the help of generative artificial intelligence technology, since AI-based applications have been trained through a process of deep learning on existing achievements previously created by humans?
Can innovations be created with the help of artificial intelligence, since the knowledge bases of AI applications contain what humans have already created before?
Can artificial intelligence create real innovations when it learns from what humans have already created before?

In your opinion, is the development of artificial intelligence, which consists, among other things, of new generations of this technology creating ever more perfect generative artificial intelligence solutions, processing ever more data, performing ever more complex work and ever more creatively performing human-ordered tasks, a threat to people's creative and critical thinking?
It used to be that people remembered the tel numbers of people they called frequently. Nowadays, tel no.'s are entered into smartphones and do not need to be remembered. Various online information services are available on smartphones and we are using them more and more. In many countries, taxi drivers are increasingly using GPS navigation and no longer have to pass an exam to know the topography and the names of all the streets in a city. Technology is increasingly relieving people of various tasks and the need to remember a lot of data. On the other hand, threats are emerging in the form of the generation of disinformation on online social media by posting pictures and videos showing 'fictitious facts' created by artificial intelligence. As deepfake is now recognised as one of the greatest threats arising from artificial intelligence applications, so it is urgently necessary to create legal regulations that regulate the proper use of artificial intelligence-based tools, including respect for copyright, when artificial intelligence creates new works, texts, graphics, etc. using various publications taken from Internet resources. How much the development of artificial intelligence and its applications will change labour markets in the future is suggested by the results of predictive and futurological analyses, according to which up to half of human jobs globally could disappear by 2050. On the other hand, surveys of a number of companies and enterprises show that over the next few years, the majority of businesses plan to carry out investment processes involving the implementation of new Industry 4.0 technologies, including artificial intelligence, into their operations. Predictive analyses and futurological visions created on their basis show that with the technological progress, along with the emergence of successive generations of artificial intelligence, more and more perfect artificial intelligence systems will be created in the next few years. In addition to this, a tool is already available on the Internet in the form of an intelligent language model based on generative artificial intelligence, which, by generating answers to questions, creates texts in an automated way, based on knowledge resources taken from a large number of Internet sites, Internet article databases, Internet book libraries, etc. On the other hand, a kind of ChatGPT creativity is not yet applied perfected, because within this creativity, "fictitious facts", i.e. nicely described events that never happened, may be described by ChatGPT in the created texts. Arguably, these imperfections in the next generations of this tool and in other ChatGPT-like intelligent, automated, digital chatbots created by subsequent technology companies will be corrected. When they are corrected, it will then become increasingly common for people to use such tools made available on the Internet by commissioning artificial intelligence to write specific texts, which will be created by the artificial intelligence in an increasingly creative manner and successively making fewer and fewer mistakes in this creative process. Consequently, humans will commission more and more complex tasks for the artificial intelligence to perform and increasingly require the use of creativity, innovation, artistry, etc. Thus, there may be another threat to humanity which may be the abandonment of performing creative activities when these activities can be performed by artificial intelligence. Thus, a new category of threat to humanity may emerge from the technological advances made by artificial intelligence. It may therefore happen in the future that the development of artificial intelligence is a threat to people's creative and critical thinking.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
In your opinion, is the development of artificial intelligence, which consists, among other things, of new generations of this technology creating ever more perfect generative artificial intelligence solutions, processing ever more data, performing ever more complex work and ever more creatively performing human-ordered tasks, a threat to people's creative and critical thinking?

Can a generative artificial intelligence refined by learning processes o be as creative as a human?
Can a generative artificial intelligence refined by learning processes be as creative as human creativity since thought processes, consciousness, emotions etc. are also involved in human creativity?
On the one hand, artificial intelligence technology is developing rapidly due to emerging new applications and dynamic technological advances. The very conception, definition and development of artificial intelligence on the basis of the third technological revolution already started several decades emu. However, the significant acceleration of the development of various solutions and applications of artificial intelligence in the context of the current fourth technological revolution has occurred over the last few years. In contrast, a significant increase in public interest in this issue has occurred in the last few months, i.e. since November 2022, when the company OpenAI made available in open access to Internet users an artificial intelligence built in the formulation of a generative language model as ChatGPT, i.e. an automated chat that learns and improves itself based on the answers given to Internet users who ask questions in relation to this system. Many citizens, through a kind of conversation with ChatGPT, i.e. a conversation with an artificial intelligence, began to experience something that could be compared to what they saw many years ago in, for example, Stanley Kubrick's 1968 Oscar-winning science fiction film '2001: A Space Odyssey'. The film's plot was inspired by the novel by Arthur C. Clarke.
However, this development also generates potential risks and dangers of inappropriate application of as much advanced artificial intelligence technology. An example is the already developing disinformation in the new online media, including mainly social media, generated by the creation and posting in these media of texts, photos, films created by artificial intelligence, which look as if they were created by a human being and present a kind of "fictitious facts", i.e. very credibly and precisely depict, describe events that in reality never happened. And what if, as part of the technological advances taking place, artificial intelligence is taught the thought processes typical of humans? What if something that could be described as artificial consciousness is created? What if, as part of the aforementioned thought processes carried out by artificial intelligence enriched with artificial consciousness, autonomous, thinking robots are created that acquire characteristics hitherto considered typical only of humans? What if these are also features of the human psyche, and which artificial intelligence could use as a tool for self-improvement, to escape human control? Would then a scenario like the one we know from the Terminator series of films, in which the main character is an autonomous, intelligent robot played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, be possible? Is it possible that highly intelligent machines, which humans will teach to think and equip with what will be described as artificial consciousness, will completely spin out of control and turn against their creator, i.e. humans? for the moment, these are questions that inspire paraphilosophical considerations. But it cannot be ruled out that soon these questions could be more substantively justified.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Recently, many of my friends who have enrolled in post graduate studies, whether masters or PhD, have claimed that research is quite restricted to specific standards and formalities and that it lacks art and creativity.
Although I understand the reasons behind their claims, they raise further questions regarding the nature of both research and art.
What is art?
Can research be creative? And in what ways?
Can knowledge be artistic?
Can the research output be a type of artwork, just like when we refer to a painting or a sculpture or whatever?
In your opinion, is creativity and innovation important in conducting scientific research?
It is a widely held opinion that creativity and innovation is important in various aspects of people's lives, in many different spheres of human activity.
Creativity and innovation is also important in many spheres of professional activities carried out in different sectors of the economy, in different professional positions and professions of work performed. In addition, creativity and innovation is particularly important in the arts, in the creation of works of art within various fields of art. Creativity and innovation is, in its essence, a key factor in the arts. Creativity and innovativeness is also important in business, in the management of business entities, in the establishment of startups, in the creation of new technological solutions, new technologies, product and other innovations, in the creation of inventions, and so on.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

In my opinion, sketch is of great importance in architectural creativity, but its role is understated due to technological advances and changes in educational system.
What do you think respected architecture researchers?
Thank you.
Dear Colleagues,
Earlier, some colleagues on this platform offered some tips on how to go about the theoretical framework for my research topic which reads "Teachers' Competence as Determinants of Basic Cultural and Creative Arts Curriculum Implementation in Primary Schools" and it was highly helpful. I equally hope anyone could provide some clues on how to develop the research design that is apt for the study. Though I have "ex-post-facto research method" already outlined for my work but I have many doubts surrounding that and I would like to have your easy to comprehend explanations as regards the method to be used for the topic (as earlier cited) with brief explanation of 'why' it is appropriate please. Thanks in anticipation.
What kind of art do you like best?
Which direction, trend, epoch, etc. of art do you like?
For example, what direction, trend in painting do you like?
My favorite trend in painting is impresonism, which has been developing from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. Also in other genres, types of art, graphics, posters and films, Impressionist trends can be found.
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

I am interested in exploring the influence of reflection on professional development and academic identities. What are the ways that creative arts practitioners might reflect on practice and how might this knowledge/understanding help an academic developer to devise more collegial mechanisms for professional development at the situated level of practice?
The study was conducted in 12 studio workshops as part of the creative arts course for third year and final fourth year primary pre-service teachers studying at a Sydney-based university. The main aim of this study was to examine individual, social, and environmental elements associated with pre-service teachers’ fostering of creativity.
The social interactions, practices by teachers in their use of artistic materials and different understandings of creativity by the pre-service teachers. These elements were considered within the socio-cultural context of an arts-based inquiry.
This project is ongoing.
Art is not based on evidence, but on experience. Art does not confine to logic, it is an expression of feelings. Literature is a form of art from which meaning are extracted that form the basis of certain forms of philosophy. Religious and spiritual books are expressed using poetry from which we get themes and messages on morality. Art does not work with hypothesis and does not need evidence and hence art is separate from science, although, there can be some overlaps, their goal is different. Artists try to express the reality through their intuitive understanding - they work on a creative future or with verse and colors try to express the meaning of life, scientists try to logical express it with investigation and evidence and engineers use it to develop solutions for certain problems. Some of the greatest engineering achievements of today come from creative works from artists few hundred years ago. Howsoever, the spirituality of today may become science of the future when with better technology and theories, scientists will be able to paint a better picture and holistic viewpoint of life.
I know 2 studies about drawing and perception regarding the disease (Patients' drawings illustrate psychological and functional status in heart failure. Reynolds L, Broadbent E, Ellis CJ, Gamble G, Petrie KJ & The art of perception: Patients drawing their vestibular schwannoma.
van Leeuwen BM, Herruer J1, Putter H2, van der Mey AG, Kaptein).
I work with brain tumor patients and I am intersted in gaining more creative tools in helping them to express the emotions about their situation. Any suggestion could be helpful or ...insightful. Thank you.
Specifically thinking here of the context of Scotland as well as federated states.
I am researching expressing art therapy tactics that have been proven to relieve the physical or psychological symptoms brought on by Parkinson's Disease.
I signed up to do a short course as a teaching artist. I understand the principles of "flipping the classroom" and getting more class participation. But has anyone tried to incorporate these principles into a guest lecture or when a supply teacher? I am struggling to see how a one-off session can be 'flipped', when you don't know how much the class already knows.
I was recently told that performance is not scholarship because I'm merely playing what someone else wrote. I strongly disagree as the performer brings scholarship to the process of music performance. I am not only interested in your thoughts on that, but more, how does your institution accept/or not creativity as scholarship? Also, it would seem to me that "getting the call" for a performance, either because of your reputation or because you submitted a recording, would serve as peer review, but my institution says no. Thoughts?
Along with my colleague Jessica Schwarzenbach, I am engaged in research into the so called terminal degrees in fine art. Art education has always been somewhat controversial as evidenced in the UK where, some 40 years ago, there was much debate about the initiation of the bachelors degree and later the masters in fine art. At present in the UK, what in the US would be called the terminal degree in fine art is the PhD in fine art which incorporates a significant studio component and the dissertation methodology is the art practice itself. In the US however, the terminal degree is the MFA with PhDs being restricted to art historians and art theoreticians. As well as existing in the UK the fine art PhD can be undertaken across the globe. Over the past decade or so there have been some moves to establish the studio based PhD in fine art in colleges in the UD.
What do you think should be the terminal degree in fine art and why? Do you think this degree should be available in the US?
