RESOLUTION - Stop AI “art”!

EUJS notes that:

1. EUJS publications are a testament to the creativity of its members, its staff and its board.
2. Art is defined by the creativity of the parties by which it was created. AI-generated content uses elements from art made by human creators, often without their consent. This creates a multitude of problems in regards to artists’ copyrights of their own work or their likenesses. 
3. AI generation of images, music and videos is a very costly process in terms of energy and environmental resources.
4. AI-generated content is being used to produce antisemitic, hateful and misinforming content on social media platforms.

EUJS believes that:

1. EUJS publications would largely benefit from exhibiting art created by its members, board or staff, as it would add a human element that expresses the struggles of being Jewish in Europe in the era that we live in.
2. The use of AI-generated content restricts human artists from the creative process and eventually damages them heavily.
3. The use of AI is impacting the conservation and restoration of natural resources.

EUJS resolves to:

1. Where possible, look to find creatives to create content for EUJS publications and online communications.
2. When it is not possible to find enough artists, the use of AI-generated content should be limited. 
3. Advocate for safeguarding policies in European politics with regard to the use of AI-generated imagery which spreads or enhances misinformation and fuels hate or division.
