AI generated media present unique challenges for licensing, attribution, and scope evaluation. As the technology is rapidly developing, and there are many legal and ethical gray areas concerning AI generated media, best practices may change rapidly.
Categorization[edit]
- AI generated media should be categorized in Category:AI generated media or preferably an appropriate subcategory.
- Photos significantly modified by AI should be categorized in Category:Photos modified by AI or a subcategory.
- AI fan art of characters should be categorized in Category:AI generated fictional characters or a subcategory.
Attribution[edit]
When giving attribution for an AI generated media file, best practice is to give the name of the specific AI engine used, followed by the name of the person who created the prompt. For example:
- Author: Midjourney AI; prompted by Jane Doe
If the file is a collaboration between a human and an AI (e.g. a human added original creative content other than the prompt), both should be listed as authors:
- Author: Jane Doe and Midjourney AI
Licensing[edit]
All AI generated media should include the {{PD-algorithm}} licensing tag on the file page unless they have been substantially modified by a human or clearly derive from a specific non-AI-generated work.
Scope[edit]
Per the project scope, only media that are realistically useful for an educational purpose should be hosted on Commons. Just because the AI image is interesting, pretty, or looks like artwork, doesn't mean that it is necessarily within the scope of Commons, so it may be nominated for deletion.
Deep fakes[edit]
See also: Commons:Photographs of identifiable people. Media clearly intended to harass or de-fame a specific living person or a group of people should not be hosted on Commons, per the Wikimedia Terms of Use.
Derivative work[edit]
When using prompts intended to imitate the style of a particular artist, make sure to note that it is not work by that artist. If it is similar to a particular work by that artist, and that work is not yet in the public domain, it could constitute copyright infringement.
Fan art[edit]
Images that depict characters from or are based on proprietary works such as movies, TV shows, computer games, comic books or manga/anime may constitute as derivative work, and therefore infringe copyright.
