Join this brainstorming session with artificial intelligence expert Karen Kilroy as we work together to solve our future and present AI issues.
The ease of sharing digital media has made it challenging for artists, musicians, writers and other creatives to be paid fairly for their work. Lately, the problem has compounded because creative content is being absorbed into artificial intelligence (AI) models. This means that anyone can create similar content, without any attribution or royalties for the original content owner.
For example, you can use one of the popular image creators like DALL-E and instruct it to paint a picture of how Sigmund Freud might envision social media, in a style similar to Jean-Michel Basquiat. While intriguing, fakes like these dilute brands, devalue work, and create confusion.
In this workshop, we will work together with an expert to identify the various issues artists face as AI advances and brainstorm real-life solutions to this growing concern.
