Bonjour, Hi,
Updates-Suivi
1) Steal from artists and content creators to profit a handful/Voler des artistes et créateurs de contenus pour le profit de quelques uns.
Voici un texte de Gary Marcus qui explique bien l’illustration ci-haut.
“Battles over copyright materials may wind up cutting massively into profits, and may be unavoidable. OpenAI itself recently claimed that it would be “impossible” for its AI to work adequately without drawing heavily on copyrighted materials. Rather cheekily, the company asked the British (Australian as well, and most likely Canadian too-note by VG) government for an enormous handout: they effectively asked the House of Lords to waive copyright laws such that they might prosper, to the considerable detriment of artists, writers and other creators who would thus receive no compensation for their work. This was a truly remarkable request for an intellectual property welfare system by a not particularly indigent corporation. The request is likely in violation both of common law and of international conventions around intellectual property such as the Berne convention, and publishers, writers, and artists have every right to fight it tooth and nail. And, ethically speaking, it would amount to a massive giveaway to a handful of big companies and an enormous number of people’s expense.” (Pour traduire: www.deepl.com moins d’erreurs que Google).
Part of Gary Marcus’s Newsletter (January 27th 2024) explains well the illustration above.
2) UK Survey and report on AI, art and artists’ rights:
3) Upcoming talks on AI and Art:
- EditCon 2024, Canadian Cinema Editors. Ma présentation de 50 minutes est disponible en français: https://cceditors.ca/editcon-2024/
- Ontario Culture Days, focus on implications for Indigenous creators and communities: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/artificial-intelligence-problem-solver-or-chaos-maker-tickets-791228093527
Bon samedi! Happy Saturday!
On a personal note, my online exhibit on AI and Art will be launched early February, exploring these issues as well as the gendered implications of GenAI in digital economies.
Note personnelle: le lancement de mon expo virtuelle interactive aura lieu en février et abordera les questions soulevés dans la Conversation Art X AI.
Sincerely yours, Sincèrement,
Valentine
