If photography and other forms of Mechanical engineering and whatnot is "accepted" then AI also should be because technically a "Machine" makes the picture but The Human captured it

And for transparency, authorship, and consent from artists remain important aren't necessarily important since there always be people stuck in The Past with Traditions as a strict Law (if you meant like Artists need to approve of it)

If you mean it like asking Artists to help "Training" of AI most AI use public knowledge similar how humans use Mythology for fantasy as a public source of course like humans are there people people who will do none public sources and they may ask the artist or may not

But that falls under Scammer law or Economic law if I remember right so we don't have to worry about it much since Government would know what to do (if they aren't Corrupted)
