Artificial Intelligence & the Arts

The Arts Law Centre of Australia (Arts Law) and the National Association for the Visual Artists (NAVA) are conducting a survey on the impact of AI on the creative process.
1.What kind of creator are you?
2.Do you use generative AI in your creative process?
3.What do you use generative AI for?
4.If you use generative AI in your creative process, what is the main reason for doing so?
5.If you use generative AI in your creative process, which platform do you use and how do you use it?
6.If you use generative AI in your creative process, what percentage of your final work comes from generative AI use?
7.How do you think generative AI will impact your creative practice?
8.Do you think generative AI is a threat to the creative professions
9.Do you think that generative AI will affect the amount of money you can make from your creative work?
10.Are you concerned that generative AI will be used to replace human creators?
11.Has your creative work ever been used on a generative AI platform without your permission?
12.If yes, how did you find out that your creative work was used on a generative AI platform?
13.If your creative work has been used without your permission on a generative AI platform, where has it been used?
14.What did you do when you found that your creative work was used by a generative AI platform without your permission?
15.If you reached out to the generative AI platform, what kind of response did you get?
16.Do you think the current legal system that applies to copyright infringement is helpful when artists are dealing with generative AI infringement?
17.Generative AI learn can be trained on pre-existing creative works, and its outputs are derivative of the works it has ingested. AI companies have done this without permission. Do you think that creators should be compensated for the use of their creative works in training generative AI?
18.Do you think the benefits of generative AI to your creative practice are worth creating an exception to copyright infringement? In other words, should there be a rule that allows generative AI to be trained on copyrighted material without permission?
19.Do you think creators’ moral rights should be respected and they should therefore get a credit for use of their creative works in training generative AI?
20.Do you think generative AI platforms should be required to be more transparent about how the platform has been trained or where it is pulling creative work from?
21.Do you think people should be made aware when AI has created all or portions of a creative work?
22.Do you think guidelines, regulations, a code of practice or legislative protections should be introduced to regulate generative AI platforms?
23.What would you think about a collective licensing system that would give creators a fee for use of their creative work in training generative AI
24.If a collective licensing system was created to compensate creators for use of their creative works in training generative AI, would you participate?
25.Do you have any other comments about the impact of generative AI on copyright or the creative process that you would like to share?
26.What other questions should we be asking you about generative AI and the implications for your practice?
27.I consent to Arts Law Centre of Australia (Arts Law), National Association of Visual Arts (NAVA) and Australian Society of Authors (ASA) using my responses as part of submissions to Government about the impact of generative AI on creators. You will remain anonymous.
28.If you are happy for Arts Law, NAVA or ASA to email you to talk more about the impact of generative AI on creators and this survey please enter your email address.
