🎨 Artists "Poison" AI Training Data with new Tool
The Nightshade tool allows artists to add invisible changes to their artwork's pixels before uploading it online, causing chaos when scraped into AI training sets.
This tool, developed by a team led by Ben Zhao at the University of Chicago, aims to protect artists' work from being used without permission by AI companies.
By manipulating the outputs of image-generating AI models, artists can disrupt the functionality of models like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion.

This suspension comes just two months after California regulators permitted widespread testing of autonomous vehicles by Cruise and its competitor Waymo.
For those who haven’t seen them, here are 1/ the letter from CA DMV to Cruise LLC; and 2/ the actual order of suspension.
