EU plans to regulate Artificial Intelligence Image Generators

The European Union wants to regulate artificial intelligence image generators. A step will be taken in 2023. AI-based systems such as DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney made a lot of noise in 2022. These systems take photos from the internet, analyze them and visualize what people write.

The EU plans to force the companies behind AI image generators to be more open about how their models are built

These artificial intelligence image generator systems are generally appreciated, but they also have their drawbacks. For example, these systems copy the styles of designers and photographers without permission. At the same time, these systems have a bad reputation for creating inappropriate content.

The European Union, which wants to take a step on these issues, wants to control the systems and set some long-term rules on their use. Those who violate these rules, which have not yet been fully clarified, will be penalized. In addition, the producers of these systems are expected to become more transparent.

The European Union also believes that what can be produced with artificial intelligence models fed with millions of photos for image production should be limited and the outputs should be examined in detail to prevent misuse of the technology. It doesn’t look like these technologies will be very easy to manage. But some serious legal steps are definitely planned for 2023.

Within the scope of artificial intelligence image generators, the Lens AI-based “Avatar” system made a boom at the end of 2022. This system was last on the agenda with a negative impact. People who liked their avatar produced on the basis of AI began to rush to plastic surgeons in order to look like this. As far as it is reported, there is a huge demand on this issue, especially in the USA.

Some famous plastic surgeons say that people are requesting surgeries by showing them the avatars prepared by the application. Stating that these applications create a great surreal expectation, doctors state that this is very dangerous.
