Christie's auction of AI-generated art has faced opposition, with over 6,000 artists signing a petition to halt the sale due to copyright concerns. The auction, the first of its kind by a major auction house, includes paintings, prints, sculptures, and digital artworks.
Critics argue that AI uses copyrighted material without permission, while supporters claim that art has always borrowed from the past. Despite the controversy, Christie's is proceeding, sparking a debate about AI's role in creativity. The auction will take place from February 20 to March 5.
