• Title: Public Opinions About Copyright for AI-Generated Art: The Role of Egocentricity, Competition, and Experience
• Authors: Gabriel Lima, Nina Grgić-Hlača, Elissa Redmiles,
• Abstract summary: We study perceptions of AI-generated art through the lens of copyright law. We hold an incentivized AI art competition in which some participants used a GenAI model to create art. We find that participants believe creativity and effort, but not skills, are needed to create AI-generated art.

• Abstract: Breakthroughs in generative AI (GenAI) have fueled debates concerning the artistic and legal status of AI-generated creations. We investigate laypeople's perceptions ($N$$=$$432$) of AI-generated art through the lens of copyright law. We study lay judgments of GenAI images concerning several copyright-related factors and capture people's opinions of who should be the authors and rights-holders of AI-generated images. To do so, we held an incentivized AI art competition in which some participants used a GenAI model to create art while others evaluated these images. We find that participants believe creativity and effort, but not skills, are needed to create AI-generated art. Participants were most likely to attribute authorship and copyright to the AI model's users and to the artists whose creations were used for training. We find evidence of egocentric effects: participants favored their own art with respect to quality, creativity, and effort -- particularly when these assessments determined real monetary awards.

  ArtScore is a metric designed to evaluate the degree to which an image resembles authentic artworks by artists. We employ pre-trained models for photo and artwork generation, resulting in a series of mixed models. This dataset is then employed to train a neural network that learns to estimate quantized artness levels of arbitrary images.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
