They felt the models were effectively stealing and replacing their work.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Zhao, a computer security researcher at the University of Chicago, was listening. He and his colleagues have built arguably the most prominent weapons in an artist\u2019s arsenal against nonconsensual AI scraping: two tools called Glaze and Nightshade that add barely perceptible perturbations to an image\u2019s pixels so that machine-learning models cannot read them properly.<\/p>\n<p>But Zhao sees the tools as part of a battle to slowly tilt the balance of power from large corporations back to individual creators. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/2024\/11\/13\/1106837\/ai-data-posioning-nightshade-glaze-art-university-of-chicago-exploitation\/?utm_source=the_download&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=the_download.unpaid.engagement&amp;utm_term=*%7CSUBCLASS%7C*&amp;utm_content=*%7CDATE:m-d-Y%7C*\">Read the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Melissa Heikkil\u00e4<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>We can still have nice things<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>A place for comfort, fun and distraction to brighten up your day.
