Many famous UK artists have expressed their grievances in a lawsuit against the developer Midjourney.
The authors of the paintings claim that their works were used for machine learning of artificial intelligence without their consent. Lawsuits could also be filed against Stability AI, Runway AI, and DeviantArt.
British artists have contacted American lawyers to discuss the possibility of joining a class action lawsuit against Midjourney and other AI development firms.
“We all need to come together,” said Tim Flach, president of the Photographers Association, whose name is on the list of applicants.
Artists say the AI-generated images are very similar to their original work, potentially costing them money.
“Defendants like to describe the AI tools they create in pompous terms, but the reality is vile and vile: AI images are primarily a way to circumvent copyright,” the artists say.
According to a survey by the Designers and Artists Copyright Society (DACS), 89% of artists and their agents would like the government to protect them through regulation.
22% of respondents found that their own work was used to train AI.
Often, AI imitates not only niche artists, but also the true masters of illustration who worked on the classic works of Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick and Arthur C. Clarke, which shaped our understanding of space travel.
It is emphasized that it is these kinds of images that AI most often imitates.
Previously, the Eurasian Digital Foundation noted that 2023 was the year of massive claims of copyright infringement by ChatGPT.
Prominent writers, including international award winners, have alleged that their copyrighted works are being used to train AI without consent, attribution or monetary compensation.
