In this course
Karla Ortiz is a visual artist and plaintiff in legal cases challenging the use of copyrighted artwork in training generative image models like Stable Diffusion, making her central to debates about AI's relationship to creative labor and intellectual property. Her case appears in the readings as evidence for how text-to-image systems raise questions about the distinction between "inspiration" and unauthorized training data use—the tension between artistic influence and algorithmic extraction. She anchors the course's concern with how AI systems' dependence on human-generated content implicates questions of consent, compensation, and creative agency in the age of machine learning.
