AI can train itself on a vast collection of artworks to produce new images. 

However, the big debate in the art world right now: are those images really art, and who owns them? 

Refik Anadol is a new media artist and he has a new exhibit in Los Angeles, transforming publicly available images into moving digital works on huge monitors. 

He said, "I always heard this concern about, is it human art? Is it AI art? Visual art? I think there's a very common problem for anyone pushing the boundaries of imagination, anyone pushing for breakthroughs and pioneership with these new tools."

Anadol says he and his team carefully curate the data they use to ensure there are no copyright issues. 

He emphasizes that his work is AI-assisted, not AI-generated.
