Art-world professionals will review all entries and shortlist the most striking and original pieces that tell a story, ignite emotion and pose critical questions on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on art, culture and society. Shortlisted finalists will secure a coveted place in our exclusive Niio x AI Art Catalog, earning a unique opportunity to showcase their work to leading curators, collectors, art fans and at public art installations around the world. Selected works will be installed in a rotating international exhibition and will earn an opportunity to display their works commercially at screenings.
