Big Tech firms like Google and OpenAI are pressuring the U.S. government to relax copyright protections to facilitate AI training. This request has sparked significant backlash from major publishers, particularly Alden Global Capital, which owns numerous newspapers. They strongly argue that weakening copyright laws could have detrimental implications for the news industry and broader creative sectors, potentially allowing AI systems to exploit original content without proper compensation. A collective of over 400 Hollywood creatives has echoed these concerns, asserting that protecting copyright is essential for vibrant artistic industries.
Gutting generations of copyright protections for the benefit of AI bots would have a chilling effect not just on news organizations but also on all creative content creators.
We firmly believe that America's global AI leadership must not come at the expense of our essential creative industries.
