The discussion proposes to consider the role of artificial intelligence in culture. On the one hand, the use of artificial intelligence can be an aid to the creator, thus expanding the boundaries of traditional art and making art more accessible to the masses. On the other hand, it is necessary to understand whether the generated work will become an alternative to human creativity. With the use of artificial intelligence becoming more and more widespread, there is a need to understand how to preserve cultural heritage as well as pass on spiritual wealth to subsequent generations. In the context of modern challenges, the topic of discussion becomes an important issue of preserving historical truth and strengthening the spiritual and moral foundations of society.
