American researchers have developed a tool capable of “fooling” the artificial intelligence models used today for automatic image generation. The idea is to help artists prevent their works from being scraped by AI.

Given the name Nightshade, this tool is designed to enable artists to invisibly alter the pixels representing their work, in order to disrupt AI models that are prone to using such images without authorisation in their learning process.
