Is AI-generated art “real” art? Shutterstock is trying to tackle that question by selling AI art in an “ethical” way.
As AI art generators take the world by storm, some people wonder if it should count as art at all. The technology is still evolving and has some wrinkles to iron out, but some companies are ready to take a chance with artificial intelligence-generated art.
Shutterstock, a photo licensing service, will start selling images generated by artificial intelligence alongside art created by humans. The AI images will be powered exclusively by Shutterstock’s partnership with OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 software.
Although Shutterstock was one of the several photo agencies that began removing AI-generated art from their archives over the last month, the company believes that AI art is the future.
The AI art will produce pictures that have been uploaded to Shutterstock’s archives rather than art found anywhere online. This will allow both companies to create art in an “ethical way.”
