Ethical Considerations and Implications of Generative AI in Computer Graphics

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential to create diverse computer graphics for various applications, but it also raises significant ethical issues. This article examines the ethical landscape of using generative AI in computer graphics, highlighting key concerns, such as the authenticity of generated content, intellectual property rights, and cultural appropriation. Additional ethical challenges include algorithmic bias in graphics generation, representation, privacy, inclusivity, and the impact on human–computer interaction and artistic integrity. The displacement of creative professionals, erosion of trust in visual media, and psychological effects of AI-generated content further complicate the ethical debate. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach that integrates technological innovation with regulatory oversight, ethical education, and collaboration among stakeholders. By carefully considering these ethical dimensions, we can fully leverage generative AI's potential in computer graphics while mitigating its risks.
