OpenAI has announced that it's granting DALL-E users the right to commercialize their art. DALL-E, the AI system that creates realistic images and art from a description in natural language, is now available in Beta. DALL-E is a transformer model developed by OpenAI to generate digital images from natural language descriptions. The company has announced that the AI system, which can create realistic images and art from a text prompt, will soon be available to all.
Users can create with DALL-E using free credits that refill every month and buy additional credits in 115-generation increments for $15. The company also gave lucky enough users to get off the waiting list what appeared to be a great gift. Millions of people had signed up to use the early access version and Open AI, the company that makes DALL-E, will offer its latest version to one million people from that waitlist in the coming weeks. OpenAI is sidestepping some of the tricky intellectual property questions raised by this technology.
DALL-E allows users to create quickly and easily, and artists and creative professionals are using DALL·E to inspire and accelerate their creative processes. OpenAI will not assert copyright over Content generated by the API for you or your end users. OpenAI's commercial use announcement may remove some of the pressure artists ought to be putting on the law to clarify and expand the bounds of copyrightable human or machine collaborations. However, OpenAI will reject image uploads that include realistic faces and explicit content.
Users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL-E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise. DALL-E and technologies like it are widely adopted, and the ramifications for artistic production itself could be far-reaching. Every DALL-E user will receive 50 free credits during their first month of use and 15 free credits every subsequent month.
Images made using the inpainting feature could incorporate more expressive user choices. The company has previously withheld its product from the public for fear that bad actors could use the tool to spread misinformation or create biased, hateful, or otherwise upsetting imagery. The Beta version also allows people to use the images they generate for commercial purposes. OpenAI emphasizes that the hosted DALL-E 2 incorporates other safeguards including automated and human monitoring systems to prevent the model from memorizing faces that often appear on the internet.
OpenAI writes in its blog is expanding access is an important part of our deploying AI systems responsibly because it allows us to learn more about real-world use and continue to iterate on our safety systems. Right now, artists using traditional mediums hold copyright over their work by default. But now artists who need financial assistance will be able to apply for subsidized access. The company is excited to see what people create with DALL·E and look forward to users' feedback during this beta period.
