How to Use AI tools Responsibly in the Creation Process
How to Use AI tools Responsibly in the Creation Process
It is important to know the facts and resources around artificial intelligence (AI) use and what a creator can and cannot do. Below is a compiled list of information and resources to reference when deciding to incorporate AI into your creative process.
Respect Copyright
Respect Copyright
Avoid using copyrighted materials in ways that violate the original creator's rights.
Review material for credits, watermarks, and metadata. Reverse image searching on google is also a great tool along with searching the U.S. Copyright office database.

Use openly licensed or public domain works as training data or inspirations when possible. Some examples would be TensorFlow, Pytorch, and Keras.

Transparency in Content Creation
Transparency in Content Creation
Transparency in content creation with regards to AI is crucial to ensuring that AI-generated outputs are ethical, trustworthy, and aligned with user expectations. This involves openly disclosing the role of AI in generating content, including its processes, limitations, and ethical considerations. Transparency promotes accountability, aids prevention of misuse, and enables informed decisions by users.
Be clear about the role AI played in the creation process. Attribute roles in the creation process, for example human input vs. AI contribution, ensures fairness and respect for intellectual property.
If presenting AI-generated works in competitions or galleries, disclose the use of AI to ensure fair evaluation.

Customization and Originality
Customization and Originality
The use of AI in arts and content creation enabled new levels of customization and creative origination. AI systems allow creators to tailor content to specific needs while also generating novel and original outputs that push the boundaries of artistic and creative expression. Balancing these capabilities with ethical considerations is crucial for ensuring responsible use.
Use AI tools to enhance your creative process, not replace it.
Combine AI-generated elements with your unique artistic style to maintain originality.

Maintain Ethical Standards
Maintain Ethical Standards
The integration of AI in content creation and art presents new opportunities for creativity and innovation, but it also raises critical ethical concerns. Establishing and adhering to ethical standards ensure that AI tools are used responsibly and fairly and that the creator maintains authenticity and accountability in the creative process.
Avoid generating works that propagate misinformation, hate speech, or culturally insensitive or offensive material.
Do not use AI tools to create deepfakes or replicate another artist's style without permission.

Contribute to ethical AI development by providing feedback to AI developers to improve tools for responsible and ethical use.
Engage in workshops, webinars, and community discussions to stay informed about the evolving intersection of AI and art.
Support AI tools designed with respect for copyright and that allow for customization without infringement.
Collaborate and Credit
Collaborate and Credit
AI’s integration into the arts has fostered new forms of collaboration between humans and machines. AI can serve as a powerful tool for generating ideas, refining concepts, and expanding creative possibilities. This collaboration however, raises important concerns about credit, ownership, and ethical recognition of contributions from both human creators and AI systems.
When collaborating with other artists or developers, ensure clear agreements on credit and ownership of AI-assisted works.
Do not use protected media content without permission.
Attribute the contribution of AI models where relevant.
Following these guidelines will help prevent legal issues like New York Times v. OpenAI where the New York Times is in an ongoing lawsuit over unpermitted use of Times articles to train GPT language modules and Getty Images v Stability where Getty Images filed a lawsuit accusing Stability AI of infringing on more than 12 million photographs and their associated metadata when building Stable Diffusion and DreamStudio.
