Typeface wants to change the narratives on the use of generative AI technology in web-scraped images and text. According to the founder Abhay Parasnis, Typeface places a greater emphasis on brand governance, content safety and privacy than most of its competitors.
Content safety and privacy have been a serious issue in the generative AI market and a huge concern in generating content that are subject to legal challenges down the line.
Recall that renowned scientific journal Nature announced that it will not publish images or videos created using generative AI tools; Questions integrity! Pending cases against popular AI art tools Midjourney and Stability AI allege that they infringed on the rights of millions of artists by training their tools on web-scraped images. Meanwhile, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has yet to issue clear guidance on copyright protections for AI-generated works.
