Meet the Photographer Behind the Social Media App for Everyone Sick of Meta’s AI
Wired“I was about to go to bed and then realized we had this interview,” Jingna Zhang tells me. The photographer and art director has been pulling all-nighters trying to keep up with demand for her social platform for artists, Cara, which recently exploded in popularity in response to widespread opposition to Meta’s policies around art and artificial intelligence. Zhang started Cara to give artists who oppose unethical use of AI a place to share images and network with like-minded peers. It also offers beta integration with Glaze, a tool developed by University of Chicago researchers to give artists a way to stop generative AI companies from training on their work without consent. WIRED recently called Zhang to check in on how she’s handling the chaos of viral popularity, and how she thinks about the future of art in the age of AI.
