Protecting Your Art in the Age of AI: A Webinar for Creators

June 16, 2026

Protecting Your Art in the Age of AI: A Webinar for Creators | National Cartoonists Society

Join this NCS Virtual Webinar – Protecting Your Art in the Age of AI: A Webinar for Creators on Tuesday, June 16th, 2026 at 7pm ET via Zoom.

Generative AI gobbles up copyrighted work and spits out cheap imitations, further undermining an already tough environment for cartoonists. But what if cartoonists and other creatives had control? Join AI scholar Maty Bohacek, Journalist and Director of Columbia Journalism School’s Audio Program Sally Herships and Pulitzer Prize Winning political cartoonist and animator Mark Fiore as they discuss tools artists need. You’ll learn how to detect if your work has been used by AI companies to train their models and how to protect it using watermarking technologies like Nightshade and C2PA. Mark, Sally and Maty will also demo new technology that they’re developing to help artists gain agency amid AI chaos. While you may think that AI is a mysterious black box beyond your control it’s not.
