As you expect, protests become creative, even quirky. More than 1,000 artists, including Annie Lennox and Kate Bush, supported release this week on A quiet album unavailable anything more than background studio. The 47-minute album called Is this what we want? Contains 12 tracks with title: the. British. Government. Needed. No. Legalize. Music. Stealing. SA. Benefit. Ai. Companies.
As a music experience, the album – Available in Spotify – less recommended. Personally, I like 4’33 ‘in John Cage, a three-movement composition where orchestra does not play a note, especially because it is shorter.
But this protesting of the dumb is a part of the entire world by missions and content companies against unauthorized use of their work through large technology companies. In the US, the authors guild and 17 individual authors, including Jodi Picoullt and Jonathan Franzen, are Find a more traditional American form protest by suffering of Openai and Microsoft for copyright violation, expressing “Systematic thief on a mass measure.” The publishers in Japan’s newspaper and association editors have also protested against AI companies “facing hard work outlets”.
These disputes are a classic example of what happens when new commodity laws are written for an earlier time. If intellectual laws owned, no one can imagine a day that many companies scrape across the internet as AI data in poetry, images, music and video. But the principle of no one has to take advantage of another intellectual property Without consent should remain unchanged.
Like many other countries, the British government is now struggling to recognize Principle and Practice and update intellectual property laws for AI ages. As shown in protests, it is not easy. Creative industries are important in Britain’s economy. Through government numbers, they have contributed 124bn in the gross additional economic value of 2023, about 5 percent of the total. On the other hand, the government is desperate to put the UK as a powerhouse in AI-friendly, behind the US and China.
The UK government appears to be afraid to exit the Trump’s administration line in the tech policy and also wants to get self-released from revisions of EU regulations. In the last month, the government Published an AI opportunity to plan action Saying current uncertainty around intellectual property needed should be prompted immediately. It consults widespread but goes to “fair use” exceptions, to be accepted by Ai companies.
What is a part unexpectedly with this debate is how desperate AI companies get the fresh content that has become a person to develop their models – and what they pay if they can pay for it easily. “We need to find new economic models where creators can have new income streams,” Sam Altman, the chief executive of Openii, admits in December.
As the occurring, many starts experimenting with economic models, including prorata.i, tollbit and native.i. ProRarga develops an answer engine to pay a portion of the AI’s AI Province of Content Cards every time their work reflects its answers. Tolbbit allows AI bots and data scraper to pay websites directly for their content and thus reduce legal uncertainty. And the native person creates a two-sided market that allows ai license to licensees from the interior creators.
Like hackers riding music from recordings in the early 2000s – before consumers to pay their own “Axel Springer, News Corps and the FT signed on Opuai agreements France France-Press compassion associated with mystery. The native person refers to automate that process on a mass measure. “We want to be infrastructure for making data commerce on the Internet,” Smith told me.
The biggest differences between Napster Era and now, so pirates are no longer a small group of hackers but giant corporations. The revised law may be important to force their hands. But Nascent Market mechanisms are progressing to make each other useful solutions. If AI companies do not bite the most powerful carrot they deserve to hit a large stick.
