The article discusses the transformative impact of AI on digital art, emphasizing the ethical challenges it poses, especially regarding copyright and creative ownership. The author highlights the lack of attribution and compensation for artists whose work contributes to AI datasets, stressing the importance of autonomy and agency in creative processes. As an editor for an artist magazine, the author values the extensive efforts artists put into their craft, questioning AI's role and effectiveness in replicating human creativity and the implications for the art community.
AI has suddenly burst onto the scene, presenting challenges to the way we think about our work, our process, and our ownership.
Copyright protection is a massive element to the ongoing argument and I believe that any person should own the rights to their creative endeavours.
If a separate entity can violate that for their own gain, then something is broken and protections need to be put in place.
The key here is about autonomy and agency. Theft is wrong, and it seems foundational in what AI developers have done.
