AI makes its mark in art museums and galleries
OpenAI’s ChatGPT has put artificial intelligence in the headlines, and AI is now making its mark in art museums and galleries. AI can train itself on a vast collection of digitised artworks to produce new images. But are those images really art, and who owns them? That’s an ongoing debate in the art world.
While some embrace the rapidly developing technology, others are not enthused. Critics claim AI is copying and processing millions of copyright-protected images without a license to create its own art.
Some artists behind AI artworks are displaying their works in Californian museums.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
