AI in the Art World: Creation, Curation, and Consumption
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in various industries, from healthcare to finance, and now it is transforming the world of art. The impact of AI on art can be seen in three main areas: creation, curation, and consumption. As AI continues to evolve, it is essential to understand how it is shaping the art world and what it means for artists, curators, and consumers alike.
In the realm of creation, AI has opened up new possibilities for artists to explore and experiment with. One of the most significant developments in this area is the use of generative adversarial networks (GANs). GANs are a type of AI algorithm that can generate new images by learning from a dataset of existing images. This technology has enabled artists to create unique and innovative artworks that were previously unimaginable. For example, the AI-generated painting “Portrait of Edmond de Belamy” made headlines in 2018 when it sold for a staggering $432,500 at Christie’s auction house. This event marked a turning point in the art world, as it was the first time an AI-generated artwork had been sold at a major auction.

As the controversial role of artificial intelligence grows in society, so too is its application in the arts and mainstream media. In fact, the best AI generators of 2023 can create surprisingly detailed and accurate pieces that you can pass off as real (well, except the hands).
These artworks can often be created with surprising ease from the user’s side – many of the best AI art generators only require a simple ChatGPT-style worded prompt to spawn a painting, sketch, or apparently life-like photograph.

When artificial intelligence first arrived in the art world in 2017, it was received warmly and with open arms. A.I.-generated works by artists like Obvious and Mario Klingemann were fetching hundreds of thousands at auction, art fairs like Scope in Miami welcomed A.I. art, as did institutions, which eagerly staged exhibitions touting the new technology. Artists working with A.I. were embraced; there was no media outrage or backlash—A.I. art, by and large, was seen as a good thing.
Marvel’s latest series, “Secret Invasion,” made its debut on Disney+ today, sparking tons of backlash after it was confirmed the intro sequence was AI-generated.
“Secret Invasion” director Ali Selim admitted to Polygon that the opening credits were designed by VFX company Method Studios using artificial intelligence.
