As generative AI threatens creatives worldwide, this thesis applies Speculative Design through a Participatory Design process to speculate about the futures of AI in art by critically involving creatives. Conducting field research, interviews, and two co-design workshops, hosted at the Malmö City Library, the project resulted in an exhibition of four speculative scenarios in the form of short stories and AI-generated visualisations, sparking critical discourse and reflection about generative AI tools in art. The main insights from said discourse were that AI tools need to be investigated and critiqued through use by creatives, that designers working on AI tools have a responsibility to design for transparency, and that Speculative Design is the appropriate methodology to address AI in art, especially grounded in a Participatory Design process.
