Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the interpretation of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of artistic creation from the standpoint of aesthetic evaluation, emphasizing the distinction between aesthetic and artistic valorisation within contemporary aesthetics research. The paper broadly compares two aesthetic perspectives – traditional and contemporary: the former is value determined through the idea of beauty, while the latter directs its interpretive focus on the body, specifically the disabled body. By recognizing the similarity between the representation of disabled bodies and works of art generated with the help of artificial intelligence, the possibility arises to connect AI creation with the so-called disability aesthetics. In this way, the treatment of the body in modern art serves as a starting point for establishing a new ideology of aesthetic evaluation in era of late capitalism.
