The dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence (“AI“) artwork is upon us. There is no doubt that AI technology has experienced a significant leap in recent years, with its growing integration into various sectors, including the art world and graphic design. Notably, there have been instances where AI-generated images have claimed top honors in art competitions, sparking debate about fairness to artists who rely on their human creativity.
AI’s rising popularity in various sectors stems from its utility as a time-saving tool. Tasks that once demanded two to three days can now be accomplished in seconds, thanks to technologies that sift through vast datasets to generate new content. However, to take just one example, concerns have arisen among artists regarding the sourcing of data for AI-generated works, as these creations often lack entirely original foundations.
