Business and Arts NL Hosts 2 AI Art Focus Groups as Artists Raise IP Concerns
1 articles · Updated · VOCM · Aug 2
Summary
Two August focus groups hosted by Business and Arts NL will bring artists together to discuss AI in art and build literacy around how the technology is used.
Amy Henderson, the group's executive director, said the sessions will focus on proper and ethical AI use as artists weigh whether to embrace or resist the tools.
Intellectual property is a central concern: Henderson said much AI has been trained on creators' work without compensation, leaving artists feeling they are feeding a system beyond their control.
Those worries extend beyond pay to broader effects on creativity, authenticity and artists' psychological well-being, underscoring why the local arts community is seeking clearer norms around AI.
