Copyright and image use
AI-ARTS expects artists to respect intellectual property, copyright law and the rights of other makers when creating or submitting AI-generated work.
AI-ARTS Ethics
Ethical use of images, models and creative responsibility.
AI-ARTS treats AI-generated art as legitimate creative expression, while recognising that artists must work with transparency, honesty, respect for copyrights and care for the broader artistic community.
This is not a generic compliance page. It is a community standard for artists working with evolving tools, uncertain legal terrain and the responsibilities that come with public cultural recognition.
Core ethics
Transparency, rights, responsibility and collaboration.
The original AI-ARTS ethics page centres copyright, honest disclosure, social responsibility and the belief that human-machine collaboration can be transformative when handled with care.
Transparency and honesty
Artists should be clear about the platforms, models or algorithms used where that context matters for review, interpretation or public trust.
Social responsibility
AI art should be made with attention to its impact on the broader community, including inclusion, fairness and respect.
Human-machine collaboration
The ethics page treats AI art as collaboration between people and systems, with artists responsible for direction, selection and release.
Legal considerations
Artists remain responsible for what they submit.
Generative models raise complex legal and ethical questions, including internet data, model training and potential infringement. AI-ARTS therefore expects a cautious, transparent and original approach.
Do not submit work made in the style of other authors
Because the legal landscape around training data and generative models is still evolving, AI-ARTS does not accept works framed around copying another author or artist.
Disclose tools when relevant
Artists are responsible for disclosing platforms, models or algorithms used in the generation process where the information is needed.
Comply with law and ethical guidance
The artist remains responsible for ensuring submitted work complies with applicable laws, regulations and ethical standards.
AI-ARTS may unpublish violating works
The organisation may remove or unpublish works found to violate legal or ethical standards.
Community standard
A democratic AI art community needs values, not gatekeeping.
AI-ARTS combines artist recognition with originality, mutual respect, interdisciplinary practice, fairness and nonconformity.
Legitimate expression
AI art is treated as a real medium for artistic creation, communication and sensitivity.
Originality over imitation
The community does not rely on technology simply to copy other artists or use artists names as prompts.
Beyond easy results
AI-ARTS values artists who push concepts, methods and expression strategies beyond quick visual novelty.
Interdisciplinary practice
AI art can connect literature, video, 3D, photography, traditional art, music, dance, immersive media and more.
Mutual respect
Respect across digital, traditional, photographic, immersive and hybrid practices is part of the community standard.
Fairness and equity
The regulation and use of AI in art is still evolving, and AI-ARTS advocates for fairness, impartiality and equity.
Evolution of AI art
AI artists are part of a wider evolution in art, as digital art and photography were before it.
Anti-elitist community
The movement rejects rigid hierarchies and supports democratic artistic participation, dissent and curiosity.
Movement
Shape the future of art with equality, transparency and respect.
AI-ARTS is committed to monitoring the evolving legal and ethical landscape while keeping space for curiosity, responsible risk and artists who work beyond inherited categories.
