LG collaborates with Guggenheim Museum on AI art
LG Electronics showcased artworks that show communication and empathy between humans and AI technology using OLED TVs at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, attempting to fuse cutting-edge digital technology and art, the company said Tuesday.
Three new art pieces created by world-renowned AI artist Stephanie Dinkins were unveiled at the museum’s “Late Shift x Stephanie Dinkins” exhibition on Jan. 25 using LG’s OLED screen.
Dinkins is known for utilizing the latest digital technologies such as AI, AR and VR in her art. The artist was also selected as the first recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award given to artists who showcase innovative works using technology. The award, launched last year, is jointly presented by LG and the Guggenheim Museum.

The creative industries are fighting back against UK government proposals to let artificial intelligence companies use copyright-protected work without permission.
The latest protest is a silent album co-written by more than 1,000 musicians, including Kate Bush, and follows a statement signed by 48,000 creatives including Abba’s Björn Ulvaeus in which they warned of a “major, unjust threat” to artists’ livelihoods.

Kate Bush, New Order, & Damon Albarn Among 1,000 UK Artists Protesting Government’s AI Stance With A Silent Album
Last week, the UK government proposed a new policy that would allow tech companies to use copyrighted works to train their artificial intelligence algorithms. Under the proposal, artists and companies could opt out of having their material used for AI, but it would otherwise give the companies unfettered access to people’s creative work without having to license anything. The proposal has incited widespread anger in the UK’s arts communities, and now a team of 1,000 British musicians has released a silent protest album called Is This What We Want?
Writers, publishers, musicians, photographers, movie producers and newspapers have rejected the Labour government’s plan to create a copyright exemption to help artificial intelligence companies train their algorithms.
In a joint statement, bodies representing thousands of creatives dismissed the proposal made by ministers on Tuesday that would allow companies such as Open AI, Google and Meta to train their AI systems on published works unless their owners actively opt out.
