An extremely rich CRAFT session at @FAccTConference on the multi-dimensional impact of generative AI on artists. The message: "Don't take our works without our consent and earn money from it."
At a CRAFT session *with actual artists* talking about AI Art. A point being made now is that art has always been shared, but that's different from it being cannibalized by corporations without artist consent. #FAccT2023
