With all the controversy surrounding visual artists being ripped off by AI, it seems like these are difficult and confusing days for creators. Now, a London-based startup hopes to use AI to help artists take back control. Exactly.ai says it uses generative AI to help artists retain legal ownership of their art and gives them the ability to reproduce their designs much faster and at scale. It’s now raised $4.3 million in a seed funding round led by Speedinvest, with InReach Ventures, Cornerstone VC, GuruDev Capital, and a few angel investors also participating. The startup claims to have 40,000 registered users. Exactly.ai was founded in 2022 by Tonia Samsonova, a former journalist who previously exited a Q&A platform, The Question, to the Russian search engine Yandex. Samsonova explained how it works: “We enable artists, people who can draw, and illustrators to train their own AI on their artwork. They then get an algorithm that can generate images in their own style. This algorithm belongs to them and all the inferences belong to them.” The idea is to let artists use Exactly.ai to scale their artwork and sell or license to customers such as media outlets or ad agencies. The startup might be on to something: According to Fortune Business Insights, the global generative AI market is set to be worth $668 billion by 2030, and some portion of that very large pie will cater to this niche. Samsonova said the idea was born from an itch she herself wanted to scratch. “I was always on the client side and I wanted those images, but the best creators are always busy. So for clients, this is an ability to work with the best talent in the world. [Artists’] clients care about the quality of the images, and want to get images for their brands from the top creators in the world,” she said. The founder said the startup’s main competitors include Upwork and Fiverr, which artists and illustrators sometimes use to scale up their output.

Been interested in why Hollywood writers and actors are on strike. Turns out concern about displacement by generative AI is one of the reasons. And they are demanding contracts that contain specific AI regulations to protect writers and the works they create. They may have a point. Venture funding to media-related startups is in decline while there's been a noticeable surge in investments towards AI companies in the space, according to Crunchbase. Investors are placing their bets on artificial intelligence playing a pivotal role in content creation and production. The largest U.S. media funding round so far this year, totaling an impressive $141 million, was pumped into an AI-driven developer of video creation tools. A clear indicator of the rising significance of AI in shaping the future of media, and venture funding trends. #VentureFunding #AI #MediaStartups

It might be just my personal preferences, but I am far more interested in VR and AR than in GenAI or automated content creation. Though I will agree that if we are talking in terms of impacts, AI definitely takes the lead in practically all fields. The only problem is: it’s widespread and practically not regulated, so what we can see is already a crisis of our reality that will only deepen. Even things like automated content generation might have devastating results. Am I being dramatic? Let me give you one example. Some years ago creating bots in social media was far more difficult. Sorry, creating trustable bots. More often than not you could pick out a bot straight away because filling and maintaining a page was too expensive since you had to pay a person to do that. Now, AI has become a game changer. Photographs, content, personal story - all of that can be easily generated. And not only AI has improved to the point of generating content close to real people’s capabilities, but real people are using it too. It’s already hard to discern if you’re connected to a person that likes using AI or to a bot. The implications for this are huge, and not only on an interpersonal level, but for areas like public opinion, marketing, even politics.
