"The campaign includes a statement accusing tech firms of using American creators' work to build AI platforms without authorisation or regard for copyright law. It adds: Artists, writers, and creators of all kinds are banding together with a simple message: Stealing our work is not innovation. It's not progress. It's theft plain and simple."
"The statement urges AI companies to pursue licensing deals and partnerships with the creative industries and acknowledges firms that have taken that route. OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has signed deals with content owners including Disney and the Guardian, while Warner Music Group has struck a licensing deal with AI music generator Suno."
"However, copyright remains one of the most contentious issues within AI, because the models that power chatbots like ChatGPT or image generators like Grok Imagine rely on vast amounts of data taken from the open web in order to help create their responses. Creative professionals argue that tech firms should seek their permission before using such material and that they should receive a payment if they give their consent."
Approximately 800 creative professionals including Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, REM and Jodi Picoult have backed a drive accusing AI companies of using creators' work without authorisation. Signatories say use of their material to train AI platforms disregards copyright law and constitutes theft. The group urges AI firms to pursue licensing deals and partnerships with the creative industries and acknowledges companies that have negotiated licences. OpenAI has signed deals with Disney and the Guardian, and Warner Music Group has licensed AI music generator Suno. Creators argue tech firms should seek permission and offer payment; AI firms cite fair use and numerous US lawsuits have followed.
