PROTECT ARTISTS’ RIGHTS

Artists, your work fuels AI — and it’s being taken without your consent.

The state of our industry is at a critical turning point regarding the use of AI. We remain dedicated to advocating for working creatives and highlighting the importance of our artistic contributions.

Our efforts are irreplaceable because our humanity creates original, copyrightable, and trademarked work. We are essential both to business and to the cultural expression of daily life. We communicate with nuance and originality that machines cannot replicate.

AI’s success actually depends on the health and wellbeing of our creative community—it relies on our inspiration and mastery of craft to create derivative works. Simply put: without artists, AI cannot generate art.

Join our No Artists No Art campaign on social media and by speaking up about the importance of protecting working creatives and the value we bring to society, culture, and the economy. When we all tell the story we strengthen our collective voice about the value we bring to the world.

Here’s the truth:

If artists can’t make a living, they can’t create the high-quality art generative AI depends on.

No Artists, No Art.

Artists, your work fuels AI — and it’s being taken without your consent.

We need strong copyright protections for visual artists in the age of generative AI. That means:

  • Payment when artists’ work is used to train AI models.
  • Consent & control over whether and how that work is used.
  • Credit for the creators behind the images.

Without this, everyone loses:

  • Our economy suffers when innovation and intellectual property are devalued.
  • Our culture is diminished when diverse artistic voices are silenced.
  • Generative AI declines, because poor-quality AI outputs can’t replace human creativity.

Garbage in, garbage out.
