Midjourney AI art program faces lawsuit over alleged use of Magic: The Gathering art


Midjourney, an AI art-generating program, faces a lawsuit over allegedly using artwork from Magic: The Gathering artists.

According to Kotaku, allegations have surfaced that the AI art-generating program has been training its algorithm on work by artists from the popular card game Magic: The Gathering. Holz is alleged to have stated that the program created “huge swaths of MTG cards” during its test phases, using the work of Magic artists as a foundation for its algorithm. This shift is evident in the video game industry, with major players like Xbox, Assassin’s Creed, Fallout, and Pokémon Go facing criticism for utilizing AI art or promotional materials instead of employing human creatives.
