The research question aims to address the problem arising from the unauthorized use of
copyrighted images by AI systems that scrape the internet.
Audience interest: I believe artists and the online technology community are interested in
this topic since it involves new advancements.
1. Some argue that the use of copyrighted images by AI art models falls under the fair
use doctrine, as the final image does not contain copyrighted aspects of a single
artist’s work.
2. Creative freedom - placing restrictions could hinder AI’s ability to generate diverse
and unique artwork.
3. Emphasize the importance of protecting artists' copyrighted works and argue that AI
art models should obtain proper licenses or permissions to use copyrighted images,
just like any other artist.
4. State the purpose of your research. Consider the following in your response:
2. As AI art models are a new technology, the guidelines and laws are unclear so I will
focus on researching any legal precedents and current copyright laws as well as “fair
use” issues.
3. The scrutiny of legal precedents and court cases provides an avenue for understanding
the diverse viewpoints on both sides of the issue.
