AI is igniting a quiet revolt in the art community.

In the world of image-generating artificial intelligence, algorithms often work on the backs of billions of scraped images, many of which were made by artists who never gave their consent. For these artists, who spend years or decades perfecting their craft and creating their own distinctive style, AI can feel like a direct competitor; or even worse, a thief.

There is not much recourse available for artists trying to protect their work. But new adversarial machine learning tools are making it possible to “poison” images, thus disrupting how generative models learn from images altogether.

This week at the HLFF Blog, Andrei Mihai looks at this new form of algorithmic resistance in detail.
