Artists are increasingly mobilizing against AI-generated content to protect their intellectual property and creative styles, utilizing innovative tools like Nightshade and Glaze developed by the University of Chicago to disrupt AI training processes. This movement involves legal actions against major AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI for alleged copyright infringement, alongside the integration of protective measures into platforms like Cara, reflecting a significant effort to safeguard artists' work and shift the power balance back towards creators.
