> It is a tough subject. I think that the class action lawsuits will increase, and that there will be a law passed, probably in Europe, that allows artists to submit their artworks to a registry that will forbid any company to use them for AI training.

I highly doubt that, since they basically are responsible for LAION, the dataset Stability AI uses. The law for that to be possible is the EU Artificial Intelligence Act from 2021. Why would they basically kneecap their own starting AI industry right after it got off. AI development is the fight for the future viability of your industry. Either you try to support it or have companies from other countries that support it, now with increased efficiency and cost cutting, buy or ruin your companies competitively.
