AI vs. copyright
Briefly

The ongoing legal debates regarding AI companies' use of copyrighted material raise serious concerns about the future of creative professionals. Companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta assert that using such material falls under fair use, arguing that it enables them to enhance their AI products. However, critics highlight that these firms could compensate creators instead of exploiting their work. With median earnings for creative professionals being low, the fear is that AI will further diminish their earnings without providing any benefits in return, making the need for legal protection more pressing.
AI companies argue they need to use copyrighted material under fair use, claiming that the impact of restricting them would lead to worse outcomes.
The median pay for writers is just over $20,000, revealing the financial challenges many creators face in the age of AI.
