<Abstract>

In this paper, we examine the ethics and poetic justice requested of poetry in the coming age of artificial intelligence. This is ultimately a suggestion for Artificial Intelligence Humanities. First of all, this paper looks at the development of discourse on poetry in the age of artificial intelligence since ‘AlphaGo’. We discuss the ethics and possibilities of poetry in the age of artificial intelligence, based on the views of Richard Watson and Martha C. Nussbaum, with the critical mind that artificial intelligence developed with the purpose of writing poetry have to face reflective questions about ourselves and the society we have built. In particular, we seek to find the ethics and possibilities of poetry by invoking the spirit of poetry against defeatism, and by constantly generating a place of surplus which is not wholly occupied by semantics. In order to create a society that coexists peacefully with artificial intelligence, not only the effort of a poet as a creator but also poetry education, the enhancement of social awareness, and a consensus on a society where poetic justice is the model of law, institutions, and policies are important.
