Copyright and AI Art: What Creators Need to Know Right Now
Weekly essays on art, authorship and automation, written by named critics and artists.

Every contributor publishes under their real name and a short, checkable background.
The editorial team works from a single office in Leeds, not a network of anonymous freelancers.
Confirmed errors are fixed in public with a dated note, not quietly rewritten.
Funding sources are listed on the about page and never decide what a review says.
I check that every claim in a piece traces back to a named source, an interview or something the writer saw directly, not a press release.

My job is to make sure a technical claim about a model or a dataset is actually accurate before it sits next to an argument about art.
Samuel OkaforTechnology and AI Editor
Start with the most recent piece in the Essays section, since each one is self-contained and defines its own terms as it goes. If you want background first, the About page explains how the team chooses and checks topics.
Every essay draws on at least one primary source: an interview, an archive record or a public statement, listed by name within the piece. We do not base claims on unsourced aggregation from other sites.
Use the topic suggestion field on the contact page to send a short description of what you'd like covered. An editor reads every submission, though not every topic gets commissioned.
Enter your email in the newsletter box at the bottom of any page to receive the week's new essay on the day it publishes. There is no charge and no account required to sign up.
Brushline is written by critics, working artists, and researchers who track how generative tools intersect with artistic practice, copyright, and exhibition policy. The publication is written for artists, curators, collectors, and general readers who want precise, sourced information rather than opinion pieces. Every article is checked against primary sources such as published institutional policies, statutes, and court rulings before publication, and is revised when those sources change.
