The study “KI UND BILDENDE KUNST” is the first to examine the opportunities and risks of generative artificial intelligence (AI) for the visual arts. There are clear demands for remuneration, transparency and media competence. The study commissioned by Stiftung Kunstfonds and Initiative Urheberrecht and conducted by Goldmedia GmbH shows that many visual artists are already using AI-based tools and that recipients are also open to AI art. For the majority of the more than 3,000 artists surveyed, however, concerns about disadvantages and loss of income prevail and many express concrete demands to AI companies and politicians. The study also sheds light on the economic dimension of generative AI.
