Christie's recent decision to host an entire auction devoted to AI art has generated considerable backlash, primarily due to concerns about copyright issues and potential job loss for traditional artists. While some forms of AI art may draw from copyrighted materials without consent, others involve artists collaborating with proprietary algorithms. The upcoming auction, featuring significant works by various artists, highlights the spectrum of AI art and raises questions about the legitimacy and future of artistic expression in the age of artificial intelligence.
Christie's decision to host an entire auction dedicated to AI art this month is sparking a fierce backlash.
Many of today's most popular AI image generators were trained on copyrighted material without permission, and there's also a fear that AI will put artists out of work.
The auction features one of Refik Anadol's Machine Hallucinations made with an AI model trained on curated images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
An open letter with more than 3,500 signatures calls for Christie's to cancel the AI art auction.
