Free Tool Launched by Kin.art to Stop Training of GenAI Models on Artwork
The trouble is, many of these models — if not most — were trained on artwork without artists’ knowledge or permission.
And while some vendors have begun compensating artists or offering ways to “opt out” of model training, many haven’t.
Another, Kin.art, uses image segmentation (i.e., concealing parts of artwork) and tag randomization (swapping an art piece’s image metatags) to interfere with the model training process.
“We prevent your artwork from being inserted in the first place.”Now, Kin.art has a product to sell.
While the tool is free, artists have to upload their artwork to Kin.art’s portfolio platform in order to use it.
