"Another step towards making AI fair and ethical for all."

AIs have become quite popular in the last period, but it isn't universally known that they are virtually "trained" to generate results through the use of images taken online, obviously without asking for any consent from the original owners. What's more, as a result of this practice, AIs are now able to replicate an artist's specific style, and they do not limit themselves to only those who have passed away.

As a result, it doesn't seem unfair that three artists have sued the developers of Stable Diffusion, Midjourney and Deviantart for allegedly infringing Copyright rights. Sarah Andersen, Kelly McKernan and Karla Ortiz argue that the AI ​​development method is a real violation of Copyright, and therefore require compensation for the damages caused and an injunction to prevent any such results in the future.
