Is AI really stealing from artists? The uncomfortable truth about originality in art

The feature explores how AI is reshaping ideas of art, originality and authorship, arguing that artists have always borrowed, adapted and collaborated. Indian contemporary artists such as Pushpamala N, Raqs Media Collective and Shilpa Gupta illustrate this fluidity. Gupta discusses perception, technology, borders and AI as another artistic medium. The piece also examines provocative works by Duchamp, Manzoni and Cattelan, alongside Max Ernst and Salvador Dalis reflections on creativity.
