In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Nicole Sales Giles, Vice President and Director of Digital Art at Christie’s, to explore the rapidly evolving but still niche sector of the art world, AI-generated art. As Christie’s prepares to launch Augmented Intelligence, its first dedicated AI art auction (running from February 20-March 5), we take a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is reshaping the art market. We discuss the fundamentals of AI-generated art, its evolution since Christie’s historic 2018 sale of an AI portrait, and the significance of this auction in positioning AI art within the fine art landscape. Nicole shares insights into collector interest, the mix of digital and physical works in the sale, and how AI art is being received by traditional collectors vs. NFT buyers. The conversation also addresses some of the pressing ethical debates surrounding AI-generated art, including a recent open letter raising concerns about the use of copyrighted material in AI models. Plus, Nicole highlights some of the most exciting artists in the sale and where she sees AI art heading in the coming years.
