What happens when the lead spokesperson and lobbyist for the Human Artistry Campaign (the coalition of 180+ creative and Artist organizations worldwide) sits down to discuss the state of AI regulation and legislation in D.C.? You get a fascinating conversation with AI expert Dr. Moiya McTier. Moiya has spent considerable time on Capitol Hill with members of Congress in support of the creative community’s interests.
Here are some highlights of our discussion:
Legislative Progress: Federal legislation isn’t dead. But it’s certainly not moving fast, although bi-partisan support isgrowing for the NO FAKES Act (digital replicas) and the TRAIN Act (data transparency).
“Stealing Isn’t Innovation”: Moiya discusses the Human Artistry Campaign’s recently launched “Stealing Isn’t Innovation” campaign, which educates the public on how AI models are trained using unlicensed data without permission.
Ethical AI Standards: True ethical AI requires a framework of consent, credit, and compensation.
Identity Protection: AI is uniquely dangerous because it can mimic an artist’s voice, likeness, and style, threatening their professional identity. Intrinsic Value of Art: Over-reliance on AI risks “creative atrophy” by removing the essential human struggle of expression.
