What is Glaze?
Glaze is a software tool originating from the SAND Lab at the University of Chicago, designed to empower artists by protecting their work from unauthorized AI style mimicry. It helps artists safeguard their unique artistic styles against generative AI models attempting to replicate them without consent.
The tool functions by applying subtle changes, often referred to as 'cloaking,' to digital artwork before it is shared online. These alterations are minimally perceptible to the human eye but effectively disrupt an AI model's ability to learn and copy the artist's specific style. The latest version, Glaze 2.1, includes updates and bug fixes to enhance its protective capabilities against emerging threats.

- Style Protection: Safeguards artists' unique styles against unauthorized AI model training.
