In addition to talking about our upcoming mobile apps, we will also start a discussion with the community about AI in comics.
AI has been a topic of concern for many creators in the comics community, and artists as a whole. Later today during our November town hall, we would like to start a conversation with the community about how we can best approach policies surrounding AI-assisted comics creation.
We’ve already put in place the first step in this process; which is being able to identify (internally at first) series/releases that have been generated using AI tools. We will also continue to implement policy and features/changes based on ongoing discussions with the community.
We firmly believe that this is bigger than just GlobalComix, and we want to ensure that creators’ intellectual property rights are respected.
This conversation is one that won’t take place over a single evening, so it’s important to us that creators have a platform where they can feel comfortable talking about issues that matter to them.
For tonight’s town hall, we will have Gamal Hennessy joining us as a guest speaker. Gamal is an attorney who has extensive experience relating to intellectual property and the comics industry at large - ranging from contracts and negotiations to IP ownership and all aspects of making comics as a business.
In full disclosure, we retain Gamal’s services as a general counsel and advisor for ensuring that we as a business remain compliant with both laws and creators’ best interests.
We encourage anyone who has any questions or interest in this subject to tune in, or listen to the recording later for sharing your thoughts and questions.
We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
The GlobalComix Team
