The artist community has raised new concerns following Meta’s recent developments related to AI integration.
Concept artists like Col Price and illustrators such as Eva Toorenent and Ana Bidault are questioning how these changes will affect their work. Artists fear their creations could be exploited without consent, fuelling anxiety over lost livelihoods.
In response, some creatives are turning to anti-AI tools like Glaze and Nightshade, which protect artworks from AI scraping.
Additionally, the artist-driven platform Cara, founded by Jingna Zhang, has surged to 800,000 users as a haven for art sharing without AI infringement.
This demonstrates a hopeful shift towards stronger artist empowerment and community-led solutions.
