The
Verge
AI
Sessions:
AI
and
Humans
with
Mia
Sato
Decoding
artificial
intelligence
art
and
content
The
proliferation
of
artificial
intelligence
tools
has
created
a
flood
of
AI-generated
content
online;
much
of
it
spammy,
inaccurate,
or
even
abusive.
In
her
coverage,
Verge
reporter
Mia
Sato
documents
how
generative
AI
is
being
used
to
accelerate
the
production
of
junk
online
and
entrench
existing
disparities
around
art
and
labor.
She’ll
offer
primers
on
how
to
spot
this
kind
of
AI-generated
content
—
but
is
there
another
way
forward
to
harness
AI?
Artists
and
technologists
are
exploring
fascinating
ways
to
use
AI
that
probe
creative
limitations
and
cut
at
the
very
question
of
what
“human-made”
can
look
like.
Join
Mia
and
pioneering
artists
and
thinkers
in
the
field
to
examine
where
AI-powered
content
appears
today,
and
how
automated
tools
could
be
used
in
the
future.

The

AI
Sessions:
Art
Creator
or
Thief?
with
Emilia
David
Protecting
artistic
ownership
and
intellectual
property
What
guardrails
do
artists
need
in
a
new
age
of
artificial
intelligence?
As
artists
voice
concerns
about
AI
replacing
their
work
or
using
their
creative
intellectual
property
to
train
AI
models
without
proper
consent
or
compensation,
lawmakers
are
beginning
to
take
notice.
The
essence
of
this
debate
—
what
artists
seek
and
how
regulations
should
adapt
—
often
remains
overshadowed
by
broader
discussions
on
copyright
law
and
regulation.
Join
Verge
AI
reporter
Emilia
David
as
she
leads
Chicago
Humanities
through
a
crucial
and
timely
conversation
with
one
of
the
plaintiffs
in
the
ongoing
Andersen
v.
Stability
AI
case,
Kelly
McKernan,
on
the
current
legal
challenges
working
through
the
courts
and
the
impact
of
generative
AI
systems
on
the
art
world.
