Solution to Owning Arts — Traditional Artist versus Digital and AI Artist

Summary: In case artists are working in collaboration, one is a traditional artist and another is digital artist or AI artist, both can collaborate to make the art reach new heights with joint ownership and no tension of copywriting. This is a plausible solution to the future of artwork. This would need a platform where traditional artists can meet modern Tech and AI artists.

Traditional artists

An artist can define his own ways to make art. Some want to make and create artwork with water paint colors, some with oil paints, some with clay, and some with even glass, to mention a few. These are all examples of traditional artists. The artist earns through his or her artwork preview and sale. Art is their passion for which they give in their life for. Mostly their their profession too is art too. Many artists are big artists while a number of great artists too are there, but not all are famous with the same wavelengths.

With modernization and developments in technology, new ways to create art have been developed. The newer ways of art are faster, cheaper, and more attractive, though most people still prefer the original arts which takes real effort and time to make. It’s not that photo editing and AI-based arts don’t take the easy way to make, the tech and AI artists too need training, understanding, precision, and accuracy to make anything to be displayed and to be sellable.

Tech and AI artists

The Tech and AI artist can vary from digital arts, 2D and 3D printed arts, or as now is a famous art form AI based arts, to which many artists have transferred their works to. These artworks require professional artists to understand how to make digital art of any form. This requires a toolbox or software that need to be understood for painting from scratch or editing in case artist are working in collaboration.

In the case of AI-based arts some form of coding would be required if one is doing it from scratch or else they use some third-party tools to create artwork which do not require coding. The Tech arts if by editing/co-creating are based on an art by a traditional artist or a professional photographer. In both cases, these are copyrighted by the owner. Even if the editor edits photos still the base art is someone else’s work. If it’s an AI artwork then the base artwork is not so easy to define. The base artwork can be many paintings, photographs, some free some copyrighted. But AI artwork can be in itself a new form of art not there before, still, they can be at times substantially similar to some original works. These are the issues, lets’s see below how they can be resolved.

Challenges for artists in Tech and AI to are enormous. As artists who don’t paint on canvas in the traditional way the Tech and AI artist are under pressure too. The pressure of copyrights, pressure to earn and pressure of owning the rights over the arts, publicity as well as authenticity.

Solution to comparison and tussle between the two sides

The artists from both sides seem to be under pressure. Both have doubts and worries, one for misuse of their art by Tech and AI artists and the other for claims that they own the digital art on which they have worked so hard. This is a tussle between the traditional Artist and Digital artist.

With competition from Tech and AI some traditional artists have been feeling worried about new art to make as well as how to create more lucrative artworks in competition with the quality and speed of Tech and AI-based artists. While some of the Tech and AI-based artists are also thinking all the hard work can go in vain if someone asks for a claim of the base of art.

Some forms of AI and Tech are often subject to being manipulative and not creative. In the case of editing/co-creating software by Tech artist, one must ask the base artist or the owner of photography to allow him to edit the photograph. Else once the copywrite is issued, they may pay back dividends and credits to photographers or original artists, in case the arts were not free to use arts. They must divide the ownership of new art created by the new collaboration. This can be taken further on a positive note as if they are doing a business collaboration. This was for Tech-based artists who do not create art from scratch and alternatively use third-party tools for editing and more.

AI-based arts are not that simple to be disguised. It is not that easy to find who the original artist is or what was photography used to create new art. Even in newly created AI artwork, the artwork can be completely made with AI based learning or the artwork can be made by learning and amending already made arts and photographs in a completely new way. In this case its hard to find the owners of the AI made artwork. This can be made of two parts:

1. The AI art has a lot in common with some arts present in training data. Then the algorithm must help find the original file and track the owners.
2. The AI art don’t have common in 80% of the canvas in this case the art can be considered to be made by pure learning, which may be considered the same as human learning.

In case artists are working in collaboration, one is a traditional artist and another is a digital artist or AI artist, both can collaborate to make the art reach new heights with joint ownership and no tension of copywriting. This is a plausible solution to the future of artwork. This would need a platform where traditional artists can meet modern Tech and AI artists. Once this platform is ready, new artists can meet online with traditional artists and make business relations and earn money jointly. This would be a harmonious relationship between all kinds of artists. This marketplace should not belong only to paints but to all forms of artwork.

Wishing all artists the best.
