I think it’s important to have conversations about fears. If we’re listening, ask clarifying questions, and seek facts, we can come to meaningful insights. These insights can be used to address our concerns with guidelines and laws that address issues like usage of generated personal likeness, what public domain might mean now and in the future, what is copyrightable, etc.

With these informed conversations we can also address the fundamental nature of the tools being used and created. I believe the importance here is to move away from fear-based assumptions and bring to light what is concrete, both negatives and positive potential.

Two of my favorite examples of positives are workflows that quickly push the mundane tasks to engage the creative process sooner, and potential access to complex tools for people who would not normally have the tools to create complex work.

I realize there is potential for abuses. There has always been such potential with new tools. Guarding against these abuses starts with informed conversation.
