1. Various "Living Paintings" exhibit
HEADLINE: Is A.I. generated art really art?
+++SOUNDBITE PARTIALLY COVERED+++
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Refik Anadol, New Media Artist:
"The work is using generative AI and it's using a custom algorithm that I've been developing the last ten years. Since I coined the term data painting, I'm trying to create artworks with machine learning algorithms, specifically AI. Behind me now we are watching these corals that are not real but look very real. In this project specifically, AI train on 100 million coral images and unfortunately, the current climate change is damaging all the corals. But the question is, can we use air to preserve our memories?"

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Sukanya Sarkar, Professional Artist:
"There are artists who paint for months and weeks. But there's always a difference between what is a hand-drawn painting versus an AI generated. I'm hoping art lovers would differentiate that and buy art or think of art like, okay this is well-thought through art versus this is AI generated art."

STORYLINE:
Artificial intelligence systems can train themselves on a vast collection of digitized artwork to produce new images you can conjure in seconds from a smartphone app.
But are those images "art" and who owns them? That's an ongoing debate in the art world.
While some are embracing the rapidly developing technology, others are criticizing AI for allegedly copying and processing millions of copyright-protected images without a license.
For all the backlash, there are many people who embrace the new AI tools and the creativity they unleash, including artists features in several new museum exhibits of AI-created art in California.
In Los Angeles, Turkish born Refik Anadol's new AI exhibit "Living Paintings" is featured at the Jeffrey Deitch art gallery,
She says she believes there will always be a place for art made by the human hand.
