AI Ethics, Artists, and What You Can Do About It

comments 5

This discussions was a bit of a depressing listen but very important. I was thinking if the AI art generators prompts could have an in built restriction that forbids them from using artist's names to somehow forbid them from replicating their style. That might be a long shot, but I guess it's something. I also think it would be cool if you interviewed a lawyer about the ramifications of the breach in copyright AI art is. I think it would be cool if you talked to someone like LegalEagle over on Youtube you could be bringing more people outside of artists and AI tech people into this discussion.

LESSON NOTES

Following my AI discussion with developer Evan Conrad I sat down with artists Steven Zapata and Karla Ortiz to get the artist’s perspective of AI. They’ve both been voicing their concerns about the quickly emerging technology and we have a very productive discussion surrounding the ethics of AI art.

If you didn’t see my conversation with Evan Conrad, you can watch it here. You can also contact Evan Conrad to ask questions about art and AI with either DM on Twitter or email at art@everyprompt.com

Who did the thumbnail art for the cover of this video? I think it looks really nice. I am assuming it’s a real artist artwork and not AI. Seems way to good for AI right now.
