Stable Diffusion AI art lawsuit, plus caution from OpenAI, DeepMind

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. Three artists launched the lawsuit through the Joseph Saveri Law Firm and lawyer and designer/programmer Matthew Butterick, who recently teamed up to file a similar lawsuit against Microsoft, GitHub and OpenAI, related to the generative AI programming model CoPilot. The artists claim that Stable Diffusion and Midjourney scraped the Internet to copy billions of works without permission, including theirs, which then are used to produce "derivative works." In a blog post, Butterick described Stable Diffusion as a "parasite that, if allowed to proliferate, will cause irreparable harm to artists, now and in the future."
