It’s similar to a tool the University of Chicago team previously created to protect photos from facial recognition systems. When Ms. Ortiz posted her Glazed work online, an image generator trained on those images wouldn’t be able to mimic her work. “We’re taking our consent back,” Ms. Ortiz said. This is to fill that void.”Many legal experts compare the debate over the unfettered use of artists’ work for generative A.I. Last month, Ms. Ortiz and two other artists filed a class-action lawsuit in California against companies with art-generating services, including Stability AI, asserting violations of copyright and right of publicity.
