Jingna Zhang, founder of the anti-AI social platform Cara, discusses the platform's focus on artists and its rapid growth, now boasting nearly 900,000 users, in a Q&A with Wired. Cara provides a space for artists who oppose the unethical use of AI to share images and network with peers. The platform also offers beta integration with Glaze, a tool that prevents companies from training AI on artists' work without their consent. Amid rising tensions between online creators and AI companies, many artists are leaving mainstream platforms like Instagram for alternatives like Cara, which bans AI posts and training. Zhang also addresses the positives of generative AI and the ongoing class action lawsuits by artists.
