AI Vs the Arts: A beacon of hope?

The 21st-century presents a new age of conflict: AI versus the Arts. As technology advances, the world of creativity faces an unprecedented threat. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is trained using vast datasets, and unfortunately, these datasets often include artwork without the artists' permission. Enter Kin.art, a revolutionary platform that gives artists a new line of defense against unauthorized AI training.

An Innovative Solution

Kin.art's platform is unique in its approach to protecting artwork from AI training. Unlike previous methods that assume artwork has already been incorporated into a dataset and attempt to corrupt the dataset afterwards, Kin.art works to safeguard artists' work before it's ever entered into an AI dataset.

"Kin.art is the first line of defense for your artwork," says Flor Ronsmans De Vry, CTO of Kin.art.

How Does it Work?

The magic behind Kin.art's AI protection solution lies in a groundbreaking approach developed by Ronsmans De Vry. AI datasets require pairs of images and labels to properly train the AI. By disrupting either the image or the label associated with an artwork,Kin.art can prevent the artwork from being successfully inserted into the dataset.

Kin.art uses image segmentation to ensure a complete piece of artwork is never inserted into an AI dataset, and tag randomization to ensure that appropriate labels are never associated with each image. This dual approach guarantees that artists who showcase their portfolios on Kin.art are completely shielded from unauthorized AI training of their work.

The Team Behind Kin.art

Kin.art was founded by a team of technology veterans: CEO Mai Akiyoshi, a former senior engineer at Gusto and VP of Marketing at Logbar. CTO Flor Ronsmans De Vry, the former co-founder of Fuse Robotics. COO Ben Yu, a former co-founder of Stream and a recipient of the Thiel Fellowship. The team has raised over $3.4 million from VC firms such as Maven Ventures and F7 Ventures, to fulfill their mission of helping artists and creators better earn from their work.

In the battle of AI versus the Arts, Kin.art is leading the charge to protect artists. By preventing unauthorized AI training, the platform is not only safeguarding artists' rights but also paving the way for more secure and respectful use of AI technology. The future of the arts is brighter, thanks to pioneers like Kin.art.
