Art in front of images copied by artificial intelligence

Images created through artificial intelligence can imitate artists' styles, which poses a threat to their way of life. As VOA correspondent Matt Dibble tells us, artists are fighting this phenomenon by using specially designed tools to confuse artificial intelligence systems that copy artists' work.

Artist Karla Ortiz creates characters and scenes for the film and television industry.

"These are some things I did for the movie 'Black Panther,'" says artist Ortiz.

Sought after by clients for her unique skills and style, artist Ortiz was shocked to learn that artificial intelligence had been trained using her art and was now copying it.

"It is scandalous. This multi-billion dollar industry is competing in our markets," says artist Ortiz.

Artificial intelligence systems are trained using billions of images collected illegally from the Internet.

Artist Ortiz is among those who are challenging this practice before the American justice system.

She is also taking direct action.

She and other artists hope to protect their images online by using computer programs that scramble AI models during training.

Called Glaze, its creators say the program makes small changes to an image that are invisible to the human eye, which distorts the artificial intelligence's perception and instead shows a public artist like Van Gogh.

Glaze and its later variant, Nightshade, were developed at the University of Chicago and can be downloaded for free.

VOA spoke with Shawn Shan who led the project.

"Nightshade goes further by preventing AI from learning from a part of the image, and actively corrupts the knowledge base of these AI models."

The more the program in question is used, the greater the impact. He says the goal is to convince AI developers to pay for the artwork they use.

"The heavy use of these programs will start to harm some of the future products created with artificial intelligence," says artist Karla Ortiz.

Her painting "Musa Victoriosa" was the first work that went through the Glaze program and has become a symbol of the ongoing battle./ VOA
