AI art gained serious traction this summer. The IEEE AIART Gallery debuted during the ICME 2025 conference in Nantes, showcasing AI‑created works globally. Getty Museum acquired its first AI‑generated photo, signaling institutional acceptance. Critics and collectors debate ethics and authorship. AI acts as a creative partner, shaping art around personal stories and identity.
Digital platforms like AkoCanvas merge algorithmic aesthetics with artist intent. Art buyers now expect transparency around AI training data. Emerging AI residencies partner artists and ethicists to discuss fair use. One standout example is the work of Refik Anadol. His AI-generated data sculptures have captivated audiences from Tokyo to Los Angeles.
These installations use machine learning to turn vast datasets into dynamic, fluid artwork. They’re not only mesmerizing—they raise philosophical questions.
What is authorship? Who is the real artist—the human or the machine? Critics and curators are actively debating these ideas.
Despite the controversy, collectors are buying the art at record levels. NFT markets and physical galleries both reflect growing demand.
