Approximately 800 artists and creators, including notable figures like George Saunders, Jodi Picoult, Cate Blanchett, and R.E.M., have launched the “Stealing Isn’t Innovation” campaign against AI companies for unauthorized use of their work. The Human Artistry Campaign emphasizes the need for licensing agreements and the right for artists to opt out of AI training. Meanwhile, tech companies are increasingly making licensing deals with content creators. The campaign aims to foster a fair environment for creative content while addressing concerns about misinformation and low-quality AI outputs.
