This book examines the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on the intersection between visual arts and copyright law.
Incorporating perspectives from multiple academic disciplines, as well as from practitioners such as artists, curators and art lawyers, this book adds a much-needed multidisciplinary perspective to ongoing global discussions both about how AI is shaping the future of visual arts, as well as the specific copyright questions that follow. Taking up a wide range of topics – such as the place of AI in the art museum sector, the ongoing evolution of how copyright deals with AI, the role of AI in the commoditisation of art, and AI and rights licensing – the book engages the most pressing issues at the intersection of AI, art and copyright. Its combining of theoretical analysis with practitioner insights further offers a breadth of engagement that is essential in understanding the copyright challenges of the AI era.
This book will appeal to legal scholars and students with relevant interests, as well curators and other professionals working in the areas of art and cultural heritage perspective.
