British artists unite to combat AI-generated images

The Art World Takes on Tech: Artists Consider Legal Action Against AI Firm Midjourney

The emergence of AI-powered image generators like Midjourney has left artists questioning whether it is a great opportunity or an existential threat. Now, a list of 16,000 names of artists allegedly used by Midjourney to train its AI has prompted the art world to issue a call to arms against the technologists. British artists are considering joining a class action against Midjourney and other AI firms, while others may bring their own legal actions in the UK.
