Artnet was an early online platform for art, launching auctions in 1996 and an online sales database. However, its online auctions closed in 2001 at a $11 million loss. Sotheby's also partnered with Amazon and eBay for online auctions from 2000-2003 but terminated those partnerships, experiencing $130 million in losses as online sales only accounted for 1% on average at major auction houses.

The document discusses art investment vehicles and funds. It finds that the value of global assets under management in art funds is $2.25 billion. Art funds allow investors to pool resources to invest in art and provide diversification with relatively small capital commitments. However, they also lack transparency and track records. Early art funds from the 1900s and 1970s showed annual returns of 14.6% and 11.3% respectively. Due diligence of art funds is important to understand areas like governance, risk controls, and liquidation strategies. While some art funds have failed, interest continues to grow and more institutional investors may participate as the market matures.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
