b'The looted Ethiopian icon, AI copyright debate in US, the end of China\\u2019s museum boomThis week: The Art Newspaper\\u2019s London correspondent Martin Bailey tells us about the Kwer\\u2019ata Re\\u2019esu, a European painting of Christ that became a revered icon in Ethiopia before being looted by an agent for the British Museum in the 19th century. Martin\\u2019s colour photographs of the work\\u2014which has been stored in a vault in Portugal\\u2014might help us to identify its maker and prompt new calls for the icon\\u2019s return to Ethiopia. On Monday this week, campaigners in the US staged an AI Day of Action, amid mounting concerns over the exploitation of artists\\u2019 work by corporations behind powerful artificial intelligence tools. We talk to our reporter Daniel Grant about renewed calls for the US Congress to enact a law that would ban corporations from copyrighting art made by AI. And as China\\u2019s economy struggles, some museums in the country are closing or scaling down their ambitions. We talk to our correspondent in China, Lisa Movius, about how the end of the Chinese economic miracle has hastened the end of its museum boom.
