Essay Assessment: Creative Ethics in the Age of AI

Instructions: Choose one of the following prompts. Your response should be a formal academic essay, properly cited, meeting the word count requirements specified in your syllabus.

Essay Prompts

1. Evaluate the legal and ethical “Fair Use” arguments used by AI developers regarding the scraping of copyrighted artistic works. To what extent does the transformative nature of generative models override the economic rights of the original creators?

2. Justify a comprehensive ethical framework for a design agency’s use of AI-generated assets. Your framework must balance efficiency gains with professional transparency and the long-term sustainability of human talent in the industry.

Expected Key Points

For Question 1, a strong answer should include:

  • Analysis of current legal precedents or ongoing litigation in intellectual property law.
  • A balanced discussion on “transformative use” versus “market substitution.”
  • Evaluation of opt-out vs. opt-in data collection models.

For Question 2, a strong answer should include:

  • Proposals for clear disclosure standards for AI-assisted work.
  • Strategies for maintaining human-centric mentorship within a tech-driven workflow.
  • Economic justifications for tiered pricing between human and hybrid content.

Grading Focus

  • Depth of Argument: Ability to synthesize conflicting legal and ethical theories.
  • Evidence Use: Incorporation of relevant case studies or industry white papers.
  • Logical Structure: Clarity of the proposed framework or critical stance.

Cognitive Mapping

Question 1: Evaluation. Requires critical judgment of existing legal/ethical norms. (Obj 1)

Question 2: Synthesis/Justification. Requires creating a new policy based on disparate ethical needs. (Obj 2)
