In a groundbreaking documentary titled "AI and the Art Market", broadcast on June 15, 2025, by the Franco-German TV channel Arte, the intersection of artificial intelligence and the art world takes center stage. Directed by Frédéric Biamonti, this feature explores how AI is reshaping the dynamics of art valuation, creation, and market trends as part of Arte's ongoing series on AI innovations.
