The Ethics of AI Art
As AI tools become more powerful, ethical questions are coming to the forefront.
The Copyright Conundrum
AI models are trained on vast datasets of existing artwork. Is this fair use, or is it copyright infringement? Artists are rightfully concerned about their style being mimicked without credit or compensation.
Transparency
It’s becoming important to disclose when artwork is AI-generated. This transparency builds trust with audiences and respects the effort of human artists.
The Role of the Artist
Does AI replace the artist? We believe AI is a collaborator. It changes the skill set required—shifting from manual dexterity to conceptualization and curation. The “idea” becomes the most valuable asset.
This is an ongoing conversation, and as the technology evolves, so too must our ethical frameworks.
