Police were called to Dragon Con after an artist was accused of selling A.I.-generated artwork at their booth.
Vendor Oriana Gerez faced backlash and was asked to leave, sparking heated debate across social media platforms.
Dragon Con currently lacks a clear public policy addressing A.I. art in its Artist Alley or exhibition guidelines.
Controversy follows past A.I. art incidents, with the Dragon Awards and Fan Expo Canada grappling with similar issues.
