AI can make art that feels human. Whose fault is that?

The article discusses the rise of AI in the artistic and cultural realms, raising questions about the authenticity and value of AI-generated content. While AI technologies have been used by artists for years, the recent proliferation of text-to-image generators raises concerns about the devaluation and trivialization of culture. The author argues that rather than fearing AI's ability to replicate human creativity, we should raise our cultural expectations and demand that art reflects the depth of human expression and aspirations. This shift would prompt us to revalue the unique qualities that only humans can bring to the creative process.

Humanoid robot Ai-Da’s portrait of computer legend Alan Turing fetches over $1 million at an art auction

Ai-Da, the world's first humanoid robot artist, has made history by selling a portrait of British mathematician Alan Turing for $1,084,800 at a high-end auction. Designed to look like a human woman with expressive eyes and a bob of brown hair, Ai-Da generates artistic ideas through conversations with humans. The portrait titled A.I. God represents a conversation about the potential of AI and its impact on society. The sale has sparked debate about the future of AI-generated art and its implications for human artists. Some view this as the beginning of AI's entry into the art world, while others express concern about the devaluation of human-made art.

The ARA urges all AI developers and digital music services to pledge not to develop or deploy AI music-generation technology that undermines or replaces human artistry.

US rejects AI copyright for famous state fair-winning Midjourney art

The US Copyright Office Review Board has rejected copyright protection for an AI-generated artwork that won an art contest because it lacks human authorship. The board ruled that the artwork contains more than a de minimis amount of content generated by AI, requiring a disclaimer for registration. The decision is consistent with Copyright Office precedent and legal review, which mandates human authorship for copyright registration. The artist, Jason M. Allen, created the artwork using an AI image synthesis service and edited it with Adobe Photoshop. Allen's application for copyright registration was denied after he refused to disclaim the AI-generated content.

Artists use tech weapons against AI copycats

Artists facing AI replicating their styles have collaborated with researchers from the University of Chicago to counter copycat activity. US illustrator Paloma McClain, after discovering her art was used to train AI models without credit or compensation, turned to Glaze, a free software created by the university. Glaze tweaks pixels to make digitized art appear significantly different to AI, protecting creators from invasive AI models. The Glaze team is developing Nightshade to enhance defenses by confusing AI, creating images that AI may misinterpret, and has been approached by companies interested in its use.

US says AI models can’t hold patents

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued guidance clarifying that AI systems cannot be named as inventors on patents. The USPTO states that only natural persons who make significant contributions to the invention can be listed as inventors. The guidance follows similar rulings by US courts regarding copyright ownership by AI models. While the use of AI in the creative process is allowed, significant human input is required for an invention to be patentable. The USPTO is currently seeking public comment on the guidelines.

How AI can make us better decision-makers, with Cassie Kozyrkov

In a conversation on The Verge’s Decoder podcast, Cassie Kozyrkov, former chief decision scientist at Google, discussed the role of AI in enhancing decision-making processes.

GenAI To Provide Offline Shopping Experience To Online Shoppers

Ecommerce players are leveraging generative AI to enhance customer interaction and improve the online shopping experience. GenAI has the potential to eliminate the search box on ecommerce sites as customers can directly interact with the AI to make purchases, similar to offline shopping. Healthify, a Bengaluru-based startup, has implemented GenAI to enhance its chatbot and develop a photo-to-food recognition system. While GenAI offers cost and time efficiency, it still requires some human intervention for a final check. However, personalized interaction is important as customers can differentiate between AI and human interaction. AI is also impacting high-paying jobs rather than low-paying ones.
