This editorial is written by Synim Selimi. Below is a preview. See the full article on our website.

Overview

  • AI algorithms like DeepArt and DeepDream pioneered and ushered in new artistic possibilities, blurring the lines between human and machine creativity.

  • Now, modern image and video-generation models like DALLE 2, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Imagen, Imagen-Video, etc. are defying reality.

  • Generative algorithms transform music composition, raising concerns about copyright infringement and loss of authenticity.

  • AI-driven art platforms and music services have the potential to profoundly impact the global economy and redefine creativity. It also sparks debate about authenticity, ownership, and collaboration between humans and machines in the music industry.

  • AI-generated content challenges traditional copyright concepts, necessitating a clear legal framework to protect intellectual property rights.

  • AI-generated art raises questions about creativity, authorship, and the essence of art itself as it becomes more sophisticated.

  • Technologies like Glaze and World ID aim to address challenges posed by AI-generated art, ensuring the protection of creators' rights in the digital era.

In an era of transformation, the art world finds itself in a liminal space, a threshold where old norms crumble, and new ones are yet to form. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we produce and consume art and music and we've seen an unprecedented blurring of the lines between human and machine creativity. This convergence sparks important debates about authorship, authenticity, and the true essence of art. Moreover, it triggers a crucial discussion on intellectual property rights in the era of AI-generated art.

Artificial intelligence's growing role in art creation brings to light two significant matters: safeguarding human artistic expression and the legal methods we employ to protect it. This article seeks to explore these two interconnected themes, examining how the evolution of AI art impacts artistic expression and necessitates a reimagining of copyright laws.

Great article! As a hobbyist artist, when it first hit me that text-to-image tools like Midjourney adversely affect professional artists, I felt compelled to stop playing with them. And while I haven’t changed my mind about the obviousness of that harm and await solutions to enable a fair use of, as you write, this liminal space, two thoughts followed: a) these are, in one sense, simply new creative tools that anyone can use to improve their own works of art or express creativity and b) non-AI art is now more unique. I’m now more compelled to paint and draw and get messy.

Does it seem like the improvements have gotten more iterative, and less revolutionary?
