Who or What Generates EFF Images?

• EFF confirms that almost all images on its website, blog, and donation materials are created by human designers, not AI tools.
• To increase transparency, all banner images will now feature a credit reading “Image created by EFF.”
• EFF continues to advocate for the rights of technologists to build AI and for the public to use these tools legally.

Rationale for Human-Generated Art

• Expertise: Designers collaborate with EFF lawyers and activists to create images that accurately reflect the nuanced policy issues covered.
• Authenticity: As an organization that produces human-written content, EFF believes its visuals should reflect the same human expertise and trustworthiness.
• Aesthetic Control: Hand-crafted art offers greater creative control, allowing designers to produce specific variations for different content needs.
• Legal Caution: By avoiding AI-generated content, EFF eliminates potential copyright risks, ensuring their work remains compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution license used for their assets.

Policy Nuances and Future Use

• Rare Exceptions: If an AI tool is used for a minor element within a larger illustration, the organization will disclose the tool and the specific usage.
• User Rights: All EFF-created images are released under a CC-BY license, allowing supporters to freely share or remix them with proper credit.
• Access: High-resolution files remain available on the official EFF Flickr page or by direct email request.
