Artists using generative AI are fighting for their place in the creative world

Midjourney prompted by THE DECODER

Creative Commons supports an open letter from a group of artists who use generative AI tools in their work, calling for an inclusive and informed discussion on the topic. These artists emphasize that AI tools enable accessibility and innovation in artistic fields that have traditionally been limited to those with financial means, able bodies, and social connections.

They argue for the responsible development of generative AI for the benefit of humanity as a whole, and advocate for the inclusion of artists' perspectives in regulatory discussions. The artists demand a seat at the table from US Congress: "We use AI tools daily and will provide an important perspective to this increasingly pressing discussion."
