Supporting Human Creativity
In a rapidly advancing AI landscape, the role of human creativity has never been more threatened. The Only Human Art Declaration, created by Skribbl, provides a platform for organisations concerned about the impact of AI on art, and on creative professionals’ careers, to make a powerful public commitment.
This Month’s Featured Artist: Victoria Holmes
Why Sign the Declaration?
Art is a fundamental part of the human experience. It is a way for us to express ourselves, to communicate with others, and to make sense of the world around us. Art is also a source of great joy and beauty.
In recent years, there has been growing concern about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on art. AI-generated art is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and some people worry that it will eventually replace human-created art altogether.
By signing the Only Human Art Declaration, your organisation can demonstrate a firm stance in support of human creativity and the artistic profession.
“As an organisation committed to the preservation of human creativity, we proudly stand behind the Only Human Art Declaration.
By pledging to only use artwork created by humans, we affirm the intrinsic value that human artists bring to our culture and society. We believe in the power of authentic expression, the beauty found in imperfections, and the enduring impact of human artistry.
Signing this declaration is more than just a statement; it is a steadfast commitment to honoring and supporting the careers of talented artists who inspire us all.”
