These can be used to train AI models that can replicate or even replace the original work.\u00a0\u201cThese models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them,\u201d the letter said. \u201cYour support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivises AI companies\u2019 mass theft of human artists\u2019 work.\u201dChristie\u2019s inaugural AI art auction, called Augmented Intelligence, claims to be the first artificial intelligence-dedicated sale at a major auction house featuring works by artists using AI models.\u00a0The auction will take place in New York.AI art is a growing area of the market, defined as any art that has been created or enhanced with AI tools. Nicole Sales Giles, director of digital art at Christie\u2019s, said AI was \u201cnot a substitute for human creativity\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009It enhances the human spectrum of creativity\u201d.In response to the letter, Christie\u2019s said that \u201cthe artists represented in this sale all have strong, existing multidisciplinary art practices, some recognised in leading museum collections. The works in this auction are using artificial intelligence to enhance their bodies of work.\u201dMusician and artist Ed Newton-Rex, one of the letter\u2019s signatories and founder of Fairly Trained, a non-profit creators\u2019 rights group, said AI companies were using other artists\u2019 work without permission or payment, however.\u201cI don\u2019t blame artists for using these. But Christie\u2019s selling these works for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars is an implicit condoning of the exploitation behind the AI products involved. I find this pretty sickening at a time when so many artists are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by these very same products.\u201dThe auction highlights the complex debate in the creative industry over AI, with artists divided about the use of AI and whether the technology will become a key tool in the creative process.\u00a0Other parts of the art community have supported the sale, with some even taking the petition and creating pieces of digital art using the words and images.\u00a0The argument over technology and art is the latest flashpoint ahead of the conclusion of a consultation into AI and creative industries by the UK government.Under the proposals, the UK government would offer an exemption to copyright laws, letting technology companies use material ranging from music and books to media and photos to train AI models unless the rights holder objects under a \u201crights reservation\u201d system. These plans have alarmed companies across the music, film making, art and media industries given the \u201copt out\u201d system could be costly and difficult to police. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
