I've submitted a brief to Parliament on generative AI & its impacts on artists. It outlines 5 significant gaps in Canada's proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act and makes 5 recommendations for strengthening AIDA

Generative AI (GAI) systems like ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion have been trained on an enormous volume of stolen text, images, audio and video. GAI has already caused innumerable physical, psychological, and economic harms to artists & creators.
The brief provides a high-level technical overview of how GAI systems function, focusing on four main phases of data preparation, model development, model deployment, and operation & monitoring.
While Sam Altman is fearmongering over godlike AI that could doom humanity or create utopia, the adults are talking in the other room.
Artists are asking for 3 simple things.
Permission. Credit. Compensation.

There are a lot of highlights, like allusions the the pittance that Spotify pays out to artists, and this little dig that Ms. Ross implies that Sam Altman has more than enough money to compensate artists with how much money their company is worth.

A.i. watermark removers are popping up like mushrooms. These are trained a.i. models that recognize and remove watermarks, even those never seen before.
After some testing Francesco realized how almost everything seems to depend simply on the contrast between pixels.
After some testing Francesco realized how almost everything seems to depend simply on the contrast between pixels.
His knowledge in rendering generation (and about the quality settings f the final rendering) allowed him to understand that primarily the whole process of these watermark remover, was nothing more than a pixel-per-pixel contrast analysis and patching.
Having understood this, the a.i. process can be easily broken.
It’s just needed to prevent A.i. from finding "valid contrasts” as a clue as where to act.
Therefore: reduce the contrast of shapes, reduce the contrast of colors, and alter the repetitiveness of the pattern used.
