Check for blockchain-related metadata: When art is created using blockchain technology, there may be metadata associated with the artwork that indicates its origins. This could include information about the artist, the date the artwork was created, the blockchain platform used, and more. If you have access to this metadata, you can examine it to see if it suggests that the artwork was generated using blockchain technology. Look for a blockchain certificate: Some blockchain platforms offer certificates that can be used to verify the authenticity and provenance of art. These certificates may include information about the artwork's origins, the blockchain platform used, and more. If you have access to a certificate associated with the artwork in question, you can examine it to see if it suggests that the artwork was generated using blockchain technology. Consult with experts: If you're unsure whether a particular piece of art was generated using blockchain technology, you can consult with experts in the field. This might include art historians, blockchain developers, or other professionals with expertise in art and technology. They may be able to examine the artwork and its associated metadata to provide insights into its origins and the technologies used to create it. Check for other indicators: While there may not be a foolproof way to determine whether a piece of art was generated using blockchain technology, there may be other indicators that can help you make an informed guess. For example, you could look for stylistic or thematic similarities between the artwork in question and other pieces of art that are known to have been created using blockchain technology. You could also examine the artwork's provenance and history to see if there are any clues that suggest it may have been created using this technology. Overall, verifying whether a piece of art was generated using blockchain technology may require a combination of these approaches, as well as careful analysis and consideration of the available evidence. Reverse Image Search: One way to check if an artwork has been generated using AI is to perform a reverse image search on the artwork. This will help you identify if the artwork has been generated using an existing image dataset or if it is unique. Metadata Analysis: Another method is to analyze the metadata of the artwork. If the metadata indicates that the artwork was created using an AI algorithm, then it is likely that the artwork was generated using AI. Pixel Analysis: You can also perform pixel analysis on the artwork. AI-generated art often has a distinct pixel pattern that is different from traditional art. Artist Verification: If the artwork is attributed to a specific artist, you can check if that artist has a history of using AI in their art. If the artist is known for using AI, it is likely that the artwork was generated using AI.

The Lines are Blurring Between AI and Human Art

6. ● AI generators like Midjourney and DALL-E 2 ,all function like this.
● We just have to type in a few words it processes the text, and out pops a variety
of images.
● Anyone can use it (few months ago people had to wait long on the invite list but
now its open to Everyone ) and the images that are returned are not copyrighted
(machines cannot copyright artworks) so can be used in a variety of manners.
How it works:
The process is fairly simple:
Give text as an input, It will generate art as
output.
That’s all there to it!

Everytime someone clicks on the generate
button it generates different set of images
You can also get the variations of particular
image you like
If you want a certain style of art you can
upload image you want and edit it as you
like
Generators like DALL-E and NVIDIA
Canvas are just tip of the Iceberg ( very
basic AI). There are AI’s much more
advanced like Midjourney ,DALL-E 2 and
Google AI.

9. More about Technology…..
● An AI can’t just “make” something out of thin air. It needs to have what are called “seed
images” (or Dataset in technological Language)fed to it which give it context.
● It also has NLP(Natural language processing -algorithms that Alexa and Siri have) to
understand and process human language and its context)
● It works on deep neural networks which are something similar to to neurons in our brain.
● The Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3(GPT 3) model with , DALL-E's model is a
multimodal implementation of GPT-3 with 12 billion parameters which "swaps text for
pixels", trained on text-image pairs from the Internet.
● DALL-E 2 uses a diffusion model conditioned on CLIP image embeddings, which, during
inference, are generated from CLIP text embeddings by a prior model.

Controversy!
“Jason Allen, you are NOT an artist. You have never used actual
tools. Just texts,” one social media user posted on Twitter.
“Midjourney can be fun, but it should never be used to cheat other
artists.”

13. Should AI-
generated
images be
considered art?
At the Colorado State Fair, a piece of digital
artwork won first place in a competition but it
has some people in the art community
concerned.
News5 conducted a survey by asking a question:
Yes
24% people voted in favour.
No
76% people voted against it.

14. “Even with complex deep learning
algorithms, AI has no capacity to
feel emotions intensely or
understand the human psyche”

“It is not only the
creativity and
techniques AI art
generates that is being
criticized. The simple
existence of this kind
of art has very big
implications for the
world of artists. ”

Some Concerns and Opinions:

15. 15
● To the average person, this seems like an absolute dream. Type in text, get picture
out, feel like you “made” something without ever actually having to go through the
whole process of studying and practicing to get good at art.
● For a long time — and maybe even some people still believe this — digital art was
thought to be exactly this. Press a button, get a beautiful output. Since digital art has
been more normalized over the years, many people know it’s not that simple — the
computer is not completing brush strokes for you.
● AI art, however, is almost exactly that. The dilution in the digital art sphere will be
troublesome… At least until we have methods in place to identify AI generated or
assisted artwork and new categories for it.
And the problem is…
15
Process is not transparent

16. How blockchain can help?
Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger
that facilitates the process of recording
transactions and tracking assets in a
business network. An asset can be tangible
(a house, car, cash, land) or intangible
(intellectual property, patents, copyrights,
branding).
Anything of value can be tracked and
traded on a blockchain network, reducing
risk and cutting costs for all involved.

17. Can we solve or alleviate the
problem?How?…
Enters: Blockchain with its…
Immutable records
No participant can change or
tamper with a transaction after
it’s been recorded to the
shared ledger. If a transaction
record includes an error, a new
transaction must be added to
reverse the error, and both
transactions are then visible.
Distributed
ledger
technology
All network participants
have access to the
distributed ledger and its
immutable record of
transactions. With this
shared ledger, transactions
are recorded only once,
eliminating the duplication
of effort that’s typical of
traditional business
networks.
17
Smart contracts
To speed transactions, a set of
rules — called a Smart Contract
is stored on the blockchain and
executed automatically.

18. How it works?
● Those transactions show
the movement of an asset
that can be tangible (a
product) or intangible
(intellectual).
● The data block can
record the information of
your choice: who, what,
when, where, how much
and even the condition —
such as the temperature
of a food shipment.
● These blocks form a chain of
data as an asset moves from
place to place or ownership
changes hands.
● The blocks confirm the exact
time and sequence of
transactions, and the blocks
link securely together to
prevent any block from
being altered or a block
being inserted between two
existing blocks.
● Each additional block
strengthens the verification of
the previous block and hence
the entire blockchain.
● This renders the blockchain
tamper-evident, delivering the
key strength of immutability.
● This removes the possibility of
tampering by a malicious actor
— and builds a ledger of
transactions you and other
network members can trust.
As each
transaction
occurs, it is
recorded as a
“block” of data
Each block is
connected to
the ones before
and after it
Transactions are
blocked together
in an irreversible
chain: a
blockchain
18

19. What we are proposing….
19
● A model where the artworks generated and downloaded through AI will be
registered automatically with information like name of AI used to create and
registered name of user on that AI through the blockchain.
If Creators wish to sell their art pieces:
● People can track it, and if is it sold the ownership of art will also be registered.
● System will also have information of every owner owning the art, and the
creator can decide what and how many pieces they want to share or sell.
At the crux of it, artworks can be published directly on a blockchain in the form of
non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which makes it possible to own, transfer, and sell
artwork in a cryptographically secure, transparent and verifiable manner.

20. 20
Market for Digital Art:
Selling their work, or
insights into your
creative process, on
Patreon and Gumroad.
Selling book cover
and interior
artwork to authors
and publishers
Creating art for video games
including concept art,
production art, promotional art
etc
Similarly to the above, creating
art for movies and TV, which
also includes the discipline of
Matte painting.
Making videos on
YouTube about being a
digital artist and how they
make art.
Streaming your art
creation process on
Twitch.
Selling fan art online
and at conventions.
Designing
Products,
Buildings,
Automobiles etc
From Design on your Tees to
making of your favorite Animes
everything involves digital art.
People can make living only
through creating art now a days by:
And so much more….

21. Benefits of Using
this system:
21
Greater trust
With blockchain, as a member
of a members-only network,
you can rest assured that you
are receiving accurate and
timely data, and that your
confidential blockchain
records will be shared only
with network members to
whom you have specifically
granted access.
Greater security
Consensus on data accuracy is
required from all network
members, and all validated
transactions are immutable
because they are recorded
permanently.
No one, not even a system
administrator, can delete a
transaction.
More efficiencies
With a distributed ledger that is
shared among members of a
network, time-wasting record
reconciliations are eliminated.
And to speed transactions, a set
of rules — called a smart contract
— can be stored on the
blockchain and executed
automatically.

22. To Summarize….
01
Normal people like us can generate
art through AI now.
03
We propose a model where the artworks
generated and downloaded through AI will
be registered automatically with
information like name of AI used to create
and registered name of user on that AI
through the blockchain. 22
02
This can be troublesome because the
process is not transparent and clear as
there is nothing available as of now to
identify if and art is generated using AI.
