Glaze, a tool that protects artists from Artificial Intelligence

In a context in which art competitions are beginning to be won by AI systems, artists must defend themselves, at least to identify what a machine has done from what a human has done. Now it's the University of Chicago that aims to help with a tool called Glaze, to prevent artificial intelligence (AI) models from learning an artist's style, in response to the threat that AI-generated images will win art contests. To prevent the AI from learning an artist's style, the artist can upload a digital version of their work to Glaze and choose a different art type than their own. The tool will make pixel-level changes that the AI would associate with another style. The University of Chicago team acknowledges that the tool does not guarantee absolute protection, but its goal is to fill the gap until laws, regulations, and policies are updated.
