Are Artifacts Considered Spells in MTG?
Oh yeah, artifacts are totally spells in MTG when you're casting them from your hand. The moment you lay down that mana and bring an artifact into play, you're casting a spell, buddy. That means all those counterspells your opponent has been hoarding can be used to rain on your artifact parade. So, plan accordingly!

Hot take: calling artifacts 'spells' feels weird, but that's MTG for ya. Once it hits the battlefield, it's not a spell anymore, but casting it? 100% spell action.
From personal experience, yes, artifacts are spells when you cast them. Got my best artifact countered last game, and it was a harsh reminder. Always watch out for those sneaky blue mages!
