“The global digital art market is expected to reach $8.5 billion by 2023, and the AI art market is expected to grow to $1.8 billion by 2026, which presents significant opportunities, but also challenges for the roles of technology, originality and authorship, ethics and social implications, and artistic expression and aesthetics" says Elio D’Anna, co-founder of HOFA and Kreation.
