“The AI train has left the station it’s already trained my own work and many others! How can that trains momentum be brought into a fair system. “

Then Recognising Creativity in the Age of AI: A Call for Fair Credit and Compensation can follow.  

Why Recognition of our creativity Matters. In a world where artificial intelligence can generate art, music, and literature in seconds, it’s more important than ever to ensure that creative individuals receive proper recognition and compensation for their work. Every painting, melody, and design has an origin – a human mind behind it. AI can now track and credit musicians for when their work is played, artists, illustrators, and designers develop the same technology and recognition?

1. This isn’t just about protecting income – it’s about upholding integrity, celebrating originality, and ensuring that creativity remains valued in our society.
2. Artists, musicians, and illustrators deserve fair credit and compensation when their work is used to train AI. Currently, many AI models use creative works without consent, recognition, or payment.
3. We are calling on AI companies, policymakers, and industry leaders to:

• Implement a tracking and attribution system to credit creators.

• Allow artists to opt in or out of AI training and set fair licensing fees.

• Increase transparency in AI datasets to ensure ethical use.

Sign this petition to get fair treatment for creatives in the age of AI! Let’s ensure that technology supports, rather than exploits, human creativity.

Today, many AI models are trained on vast datasets, including artwork, music, and literature created by real people. However, there are often no mechanisms in place to credit or compensate the original creators.

They can be trained to credit and reward or take according to how we train the platforms.

Imagine a world where:

 • Artists are notified when their work is used, just like musicians receive alerts when their songs are played.

• Creators can choose whether to allow AI to use their work – with an option to charge a nominal or fair fee.

• Companies using AI tools commit to ethical data use, ensuring that human creators remain at the heart of the creative process.

1. AI is built on the foundation of human creativity, shouldn’t that foundation be acknowledged?
2. A Collaborative Solution: Technology That Credits Creators Rather than viewing AI as a threat, we can use technology to build fairer systems.
3. Here’s how:

a) Digital Attribution & Tracking – Just as YouTube’s Content ID system detects copyrighted music, a similar system could track visual art, design, and text, automatically crediting the original creator.

b) Opt-In & Fair Compensation Models – Creators should be able to decide whether AI can use their work, with the option to receive micro-payments or licensing fees.

c) Transparent AI Training – Companies training AI models should disclose which works are used, giving artists the opportunity to approve, decline, or be compensated.

d) AI-Assisted Copyright Protection – AI can help detect unauthorized use of artwork and alert creators when their work appears elsewhere.

e)  Industry & Government Support – Legal frameworks must evolve to ensure ethical AI use, and companies should commit to fair data sourcing.

A Call for Ethical AI and Industry Collaboration This is not about limiting innovation – it’s about ensuring that AI enhances creativity rather than exploiting it. Ethical AI is possible when we work together – artists, musicians, tech companies, and policymakers – to build a system that values originality.

We invite industry leaders, policymakers, and creatives to join this conversation. Let’s work together to create a future where technology and human creativity coexist in harmony – where recognition, fairness, and artistic integrity remain at the core of innovation.
