What is Have I Been Trained??

Have I Been Trained allows you to check whether your images have been included in the training datasets of popular AI art generation models. You upload an image or provide a URL, and the tool searches across major AI model datasets to see if your work was used without your knowledge or consent. This is particularly relevant for photographers, illustrators, and digital artists concerned about how their work has been utilised by AI companies. The tool addresses a genuine concern in the creative community: many AI art models were trained on images scraped from the internet, often without explicit permission from the original creators.
