AI Ethics, Artists, and What You Can Do About It
Following my AI discussion with developer Evan Conrad I sat down with artists Steven Zapata and Karla Ortiz to get the artist’s perspective of AI. They’ve both been voicing their concerns about the quickly emerging technology and we have a very productive discussion surrounding the ethics of AI art.
If you didn’t see my conversation with Evan Conrad, you can watch it here. You can also contact Evan Conrad to ask questions about art and AI with either DM on Twitter or email at art@everyprompt.com
