theconversation.com: The global sprint to develop artificial intelligence technologies is intensifying, fuelled by substantial investments from both public and private sectors keen to maintain a competitive edge in the AI era.
In the UK, the AI industry is predicted to generate £400 billion by 2030. Yet the regulatory frameworks that govern these advances are often seen as barriers to innovation and investment.

As good as AI is getting it will never be as good as human artists. AI created content Often contains illogical transitions and a multitude of design flaws that make it clear it was created by AI. This technology will give amateur artists the ability to make mediocre at best pieces of Art, but it cannot create Masters. as AI content becomes more widespread it will become clear the difference between the quality of work and meaning behind AI work into the work of artists. With that said governments must create legislatures that support artists and protect their work. Most AI tools today are open sourced, using a variety of data sets that make it difficult to track the source materials. There are AI systems that can be trained directly off of a programmed data set. By bolstering these systems people will be able train their own AI Bots with the select data sets of their choosing. allowing for close monitoring of source material and crediting.
Count on the UK to be thinking about the things that the US tend to overlook. I’m glad to hear that they’re taking initiative towards something that means so much to a substantial amount of the population. AI is a huge threat to artists in every industry, and it is scary/humbling to know that its existance is dependent on human minds/people’s art. Without us, AI would not be as powerful as it is today, but it only is getting more powerful. Not being able to source the creator is a really big problem, especially for copyright purposes. Copyright is still something that confuses me, mainly with how it works with art, but knowing that there’s someone who cares about this is relieving. I hope that the US will take the same initiatives to make sure that artists can still 100% claim their art as theirs.
The issue of AI is a widely discussed topic in today's world, and there is a divide between people who think it should power and control most things and those who think that it is stealing their work and threatening their jobs. Those are extreme and I like to think that most people sit in the middle where they think AI could be useful but are concerned about how to integrate it properly. My concern is where the line is between a tool and a crutch, because it is not immediately apparent where that line can be. But also the way I see it is that if schools think using AI is cheating then why are we using it in the work field to generate things. Using AI may save time but it also pulls any human creativity out of the task except the references it steals from. Especially as creatives we need to be very cautious about allowing it to be integrated into our fields because it could get out of hand very quickly.
I’m glad to see that people from other countries are also fighting to ensure that artists are protected in the upcoming years, I haven’t really seen a lot of progress on this front from America so I hope that the uk is able to succeed in their efforts and show other places that it’s worth it to put measure in place in order to help artists, I think in a lot of countries artists and their livelihoods are overlooked but it’s important to remember that artists are workers too and they need the protection and respect that all other types of workers get as well. We know the consequence that ai has on a lot of jobs because we’ve already seen it happen to jobs outside of the art industry, the hiring statistics of certain jobs have gone to near zero or even in some cases it has gone to zero as there isn’t a need for humans to fulfill that job( this has happened in places like call centers and factories) however I do think that in terms of it happening to artists it’s especially insulting as ai art needs real art in order to work and the fact that it uses a lot of artists work without their permission and in turn is now threatening to take a lot of their jobs is really sad to see.
