The TAA AI Committee, led by Chair Brenda Ulrich, has been working diligently on its three-prong goals of advocacy, education and support to TAA members around the issues that AI, and in particular GenAI and LLMs (Large Language Models), present in the academic and textbook publishing areas.

The Graphic Artists Guild has launched the “No Artists, No Art” campaign to publicize the need to protect visual artists’ rights in a generative AI environment. The campaign’s message is twofold:

1. Without high-quality creative works to train on, generative AI will deliver poorer and poorer quality outputs.
2. In order to have a robust generative AI economy, the rights of creators and copyright holders need to be protected.
