Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Ben Zhao Distributed AI Research Institute is on Mastodon QueerInAI Creative industries have been massively impacted. Human Artistry Campaign would be a great addition, The Concept Art Association, or unions like @Iatse The Animation Guild // #WeAre839 , NAVA etc.

Yes, please find balance to include representation of all stakeholders affected so everyone's concerns and interests are heard. There are many great artists organizations who would be happy to represent the missing voices.

“We're all slightly buying into the con by even referring to all this as AI. These are unthinking algorithms that use the work of humans without consent, credit or compensation to regurgitate something similar but empty.”
—Tom Humberstone

Artificial intelligence is an oxymoron.
