Kin.art launches free tool to prevent GenAI models from training on artwork

Generative AI has made significant strides, as exemplified by Midjourney and OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, which can transform textual descriptions into stunning artwork. However, these AI models often use artwork without the consent of the original artists, prompting entrepreneurs and activists to develop tools to protect artists’ rights. One such tool, Kin.art, employs image segmentation and tag randomization to prevent artwork from being used in AI model training, thus respecting artists’ rights. This tool, developed by Flor Ronsmans De Vry, co-founder of Kin.art, offers a unique approach to protecting artwork and is positioned as a philanthropic effort that may be offered as a service to third parties in the future.
