[Geo4All] AI Open Letter - The Center for Artistic Inquiry and Reporting

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


This Open Letter from the Center for Artistic Inquiry and Reporting (CAIR) might be of interest.


“AI-art generators are trained on enormous datasets, containing millions upon millions of copyrighted images, harvested without their creator’s knowledge, let alone compensation or consent. This is effectively the greatest art heist in history. Perpetrated by respectable-seeming corporate entities backed by Silicon Valley venture capital. It’s daylight robbery.”

Best wishes


Suchith
