I dunno. Art remains art. An "AI" is just another constructed thing by which humans have extended their abilities to influence and manipulate the world we live in. We already use automatons to assemble our cars, our toys, our cameras, and run a lot of our essential infrastructure. There's really little difference between what is Art directly created by human hands and Art that is indirectly created by the minds that humans embue their machines with.
Until a definitive test of what constitutes machine intelligence exists, and until machines can reliably and consistently pass that test, any Art is the result of human artiface and mind regardless of whether it is directly or indirectly created. If you want to put a simple limitation on "what is art" to say that it must be made by human hands, well, that is just fine … but most photographs will then be marginally not-art since we already rely upon a whole range of machines, of varying levels of "intelligence", to produce our photographs.
