Nearly 4,000 people have signed an open letter calling on Christie’s New York to cancel an upcoming sale dedicated solely to art created with artificial intelligence (AI), over concerns that the works exploit human artists.

Thousands of artists are calling on Christie’s to cancel its upcoming “ Augmented Intelligence ” auction, the first major sale dedicated to art made with artificial intelligence, slated to run from February 20 to March 5.

Auction house Christie's plans to hold an AI art auction, an announcement that's drawn criticism from some users on social media.

The controversy is hardly surprising. 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. But not all AI art is theft. Is this the right fight for those opposed to image generation?

The art auction house Christie’s is going all in on AI as it announces the ‘first auction solely offering artworks created with AI.’

Thousands of people, including undersigned artists, have signed an open letter urging Christie's to halt its upcoming AI art sale set over copyright concerns.

The esteemed art auction house Christie’s will hold its first-ever show dedicated solely to AI-generated art later this month.

Christie’s New York is under fire as thousands call for the cancellation of its AI-generated art auction. Artists have sent an open letter condemning the event, arguing that AI art threatens human creativity and the traditional art market.
