AI Art, Creativity & Copyright with Kris Kashtanova

Kris Kashtanova is an AI artist who published the world's first copyrighted AI-assisted comic book. Her journey with the US Copyright Office has been documented in the news. I spoke to her about her work as an artist and photographer, what she learned about copyrighting AI art, the safe community she is building--and some of her newer work around ControlNet and training her own models.
