Work generated using AI will not be accepted for exhibition or promotion at MICE. This includes using AI instead of a human artist or any “trained” models using artists’ work without their consent. 

 

MICE has always valued and upheld the art of comics and is dedicated to supporting original creators and their work. The use of Artificial Intelligence to replace an artist's work, in whole or in part, is antithetical to MICE’s reason for being.  We also recognize the profound ethical issues AI platforms raise, including the scraping of copyrighted data.  

 

MICE assumes that all exhibitors own the rights to the work they display and sell on their tables or have permission from the rights-holder. If MICE deems that an exhibitor’s entered portfolio has been copied or stolen from another creator’s work, it will not be accepted for exhibition or promotion at MICE.
