NIGHTSHADE, THE TOOL THAT ‘POISONS’ DATA, GIVES ARTISTS A FIGHTING CHANCE AGAINST AI

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Nightshade, a project from the University of Chicago, aims to empower artists in the battle against unauthorized AI training by distorting image data, rendering it unusable for model training. It takes fewer than 100 poisoned images to start corrupting AI models. The idea is to protect creators from unauthorized use and force companies to pay to get consent before using their content to train the models. Glaze, another tool developed by the same team, prevents AI from being able to steal artists' styles.
