Two Malaysian artists, Zila Abka and Amirul Shah, are both claiming credit for a viral AI-generated image of Gaza, highlighting the complexities of authorship and ownership in AI-created content. Abka, a science teacher and AI art hobbyist, says she created the image in February using Microsoft's Image Creator, while Shah, a college student and photographer, claims he generated a similar image independently. The dispute underscores the challenges of verifying originality and ownership in the realm of AI-generated art.
Bosch, a major manufacturing company, has adapted its revolutionary technology, Origify, originally designed to detect counterfeit spare parts in the car and aerospace industries, to now identify counterfeit works of art. The system creates "tamper-proof digital fingerprints" of paintings and sculptures, enabling museums to quickly spot whether an original work has been swapped with a fake. The technology, which captures unique details not visible to the human eye, stores data in a "tamper-proof cloud" and allows authentication via a smartphone app. The system has the potential to revolutionize art authentication and security in museums, following a recent case where a German museum fell victim to art theft and forgery.
