The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
OpenAI's Dall-E 3 image generator, praised for its advanced capabilities, has sparked lawsuits and backlash from artists who allege their copyrighted works were used without consent to train the AI. Artists claim this infringes on their intellectual property rights and threatens their livelihoods.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly discusses AI systems (Dall-E 3 and similar generative AI models) that have been trained on artists' copyrighted works without permission, leading to lawsuits alleging copyright infringement. This is a direct harm related to intellectual property rights violations caused by the AI systems' development and use. The presence of ongoing legal action and artists' complaints confirms that harm has materialized, not just a potential risk. The AI system's role is pivotal as it is the use of these AI models trained on unauthorized data that caused the harm. Hence, this is an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
