Nightshade is a computer program designed designed by Ben Zhao, professor at the University of Chicago, is meant to discourage Artificial Intelligence companies from training off of certain copyrighted art by "poisoning" samples. It does this by having the AI see patterns that do not exist in the image. This results in the generation of art that does not follow the prompt given.[1]

Function

Name Origins

Nightshade was named such because of the poisonous plants. It affects the way that AI programs view the art and "poisons" the data. Additionally, it has a historical precedent for being utilized to poison kings and emperors.[2]
