DESCRIPTION:In the landscape of AI\, artists and creatives have radically d
 ifferent interests than the tech companies scraping “data” — includi
 ng individual artists’ works and styles — to build and refine their to
 ols. And in this friction lies a vastly uneven power dynamic. How can arti
 sts protect their rights to their own work in the face of forces using and
  distributing it indiscriminately? How can regulatory frameworks keep up w
 ith the complexities of this dynamic?\n\nIn the final talk of the Ideas Ma
 tter: Ethical Challenges of AI series\, we’ll hear from computer scienti
 st Shawn Shan\, who has developed solutions\, including “data poisoning
 ” strategies\, that artists can use to fight back against the AI machine
 . In short\, this strategy enables artists to essentially corrupt the file
 s to their art that lives online\, so AI models can’t scrape them in the
  typical fashion. Millions of artists have used Shan's tools since he made
  them available. This is a step in balancing the scales and putting some a
 gency and power back in the hands of creators. Shan will also share his vi
 sion for ultimately building a more collaborative and fair AI ecosystem.\n
 \nFood will be provided. Please RSVP here so we know how many attendees to
  expect.\n\nThis lecture is presented by OSU's School of History\, Philoso
 phy and Religion\, the College of Engineering\, and OSU Libraries & Press 
 and is supported to the Thomas Jones and Mary Hart Horning Endowment.
