Should You Use AI Images In Your Content?
The Ethical and Legal Challenges With AI-Generated Art
Slow down and think twice before using AI-generated art. This is new territory, and if you’re not careful — it could get you into legal trouble. This article will explain in detail why AI art is problematic.
What Is AI Art?
AI-generated art comes from a context or multiple contexts. It’s basically a random generator that puts together an image based on a database of curated art and photographs. A large number of sources could be used for a single image.
Lensa has already received negative criticism. Artists claim it has stolen their work and manipulated it for the app. Lensa recently came into the spotlight after it trended on Facebook and Instagram.
It’s the Wild West When It Comes to Copyright Laws
Right now, there aren’t clear copyright rules or legislation about how and when AI-generated art can be used. If you’re unaware of the primary source(s) that an AI used to create an artwork, it could be extremely problematic and even costly. The artist or artists who created the works that were manipulated into one image could sue you.
