In my master's thesis, I discussed the new phenomenon of the rise of artificial intelligence art and the response of art teachers to it. The phenomenon has taken shape in the last six years, primarily through the development of so-called "Text to image" artificial intelligence programs. Since there are "artworks" that are created by programs by a user simply typing a prompt, there have been major controversies regarding authorship and creativity. The phenomenon has already been discussed extensively abroad - in contrast to us - in various fields. Only in the pedagogical field has it remained completely unexplored, so my assignment and research work can be a springboard into this new topic. In the theoretical part, I described this new phenomenon of artificial intelligence art based on previously conducted research. The research part, however, was based on the opinions of art teachers. Since this is a study of the phenomenon, I mainly used a qualitative method of collecting and analyzing data. I then added a quantitative online questionnaire to this for the purposes of triangulation and generalization of the results to a wider audience. The research questions were based on theory and mainly concerned teachers' opinions about this new phenomenon of artificial intelligence art, what their opinion is about it as artists, as educators, as members of society, how they personally experience it and what they think about copyright issues. The results showed considerable ambivalence and uncertainty. Some identified more with the fears caused by the introduction of artificial intelligence into the field of art, some less so. However, most agreed that appropriate education will play a key role in properly addressing this phenomenon.
