Is the art world ready for AI? An auction sale may answer - The Economic Times

Is the art world ready for AI? Christie's held the first-ever auction of art created by artificial intelligence. By Thomas Mulier Four months ago, Christie's said it held the first-ever auction of art created by artificial intelligence. The $432,500 sale sparked a controversy among critics over whether it's really AI-generated if a human was involved in making the portrait. Next month, a new Sotheby's sale in London may end the dispute and could even presage a boom in AI-generated art, which until now has been relatively scarce. The firm will take bids for a piece made by German computer scientist Mario Klingemann on March 6 in London.
