Artprice Defends Creative Freedom as AI Debate Reshapes Publishing
Artprice by Artmarket weighs in on AI's role in creative work as the publishing world grapples with disclosure and authorship questions.

The debate has moved from theoretical to operational across the global creative industries.
Artprice by Artmarket, the Paris-based art market data firm, has entered the conversation by staking out a position in defense of authors' creative freedom in relation to AI tools.
