Artists and AI

Artists in all disciplines are welcome to be part of a lively discussion with Zach Beasley, who will lead us through an introduction to popular AI image generation tools, discuss the benefits and limitations of AI technologies, and help us brainstorm how AI tools could be used in our creative practices.

Be part of an engaging talk via Zoom, addressing the impacts of generative AI on artists' work and livelihood, led by Shawn Shan, computer scientist and research at the University of Chicago. We'll learn how generative AI models "learn" from human art, discuss the potential threats on our privacy, and hear about one potential solution, project Glaze, a tool that protects artists from unauthorized mimicry.

Be part of this engaging talk via Zoom, addressing the ways recent lawsuits and ethical dilemmas regarding attribution and ownership of AI art are reshaping the landscape of copyright protection.

Are you an artist eager to secure your place in an evolving world? Is the looming threat of AI making you doubt your life choices? Will Midjourney or ChatGPT really replace creatives? Join us for an eye-opening talk and interactive discussion that will empower you to not just survive but thrive in our current reality.
