""I decided that I could best use my work as a huge dataset, because so many artists are reluctant to collaborate with AI, but I like the idea of doing that. That way I could actually wind up with a much better-trained model.""
""It's inevitable anyway," he tells Fast Company. In other words, if you can't beat them, join them."
Michael Hafftka, a 72-year-old artist, has uploaded half of his artwork to Hugging Face, an AI platform, as both an artistic and archival gesture. He has a history of engaging with emerging tools, including computer-based art and Web3. Hafftka views his project as a living record of his work, allowing for noncommercial AI experimentation. Unlike many artists who see AI as a threat, he believes in collaboration with AI to improve model training, stating that embracing technology is inevitable.
