Grande Con Bans AI Art to Protect Human Creativity | Edmonton News

Grande Con in Alberta is making waves by banning AI-generated art, requiring all vendors to swear their work is human-made — a bold move protecting artists’ livelihoods and the soul of creativity. As the fifth annual event also funds a local crisis shelter, organizers are doubling down on human craftsmanship, sparking a wider conversation about AI’s role in art. Artists like Shanda Fuller welcome the policy, fearing automation devalues years of skill and handwork. While some in film see AI’s potential, storyboard pros insist machines can’t capture storytelling’s heart. Grande Con’s stance isn’t just about tradition — it’s a defiant stand for human artistry in an age of algorithms.
