Art historian Harry Liivrand has declared the 2024 Venice Biennale a pivotal moment, signifying artificial intelligence’s first substantial success within the international art world. Liivrand, following a visit to the prestigious exhibition, observed a significant presence and impact of AI-generated and AI-assisted artworks. He believes this year’s Biennale demonstrates AI’s transition from a novel tool to a legitimate force in contemporary artistic expression. The event showcases AI’s capabilities beyond experimentation, presenting works that are critically engaged and aesthetically compelling. This marks a departure from previous instances where AI in art was largely considered conceptual or exploratory. Liivrand’s assessment suggests the Biennale could be a watershed moment, influencing the future trajectory of art and technology. The exhibition’s embrace of AI signals a broader acceptance and integration of the technology within the established art community.
