Artists return to Brisbane Portrait Prize to challenge AI art entries

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Several artists who previously boycotted the Brisbane Portrait Prize due to the inclusion of AI-generated art have returned to compete, with some First Nations artists using their cultural heritage as a counterpoint to artificial intelligence. These artists aim to highlight the irreplaceable nature of ancestral knowledge and practice in art, contrasting it with what they describe as the superficiality of AI-generated imagery. The prize's decision to accept AI art has been a point of contention, with some artists likening it to unfair competition and raising concerns about the appropriation of indigenous intellectual property.
