Last Saturday Jack DORSEY, Twitter co -founder (now X) and Square (now Block), published a message in x With a overwhelming phrase: “Eliminate all intellectual property laws.” Elon Musk would answer shortly after adding to the idea with a “I agree.” The message has unleashed a debate on intellectual property laws, and does so at a particularly unique time.
AFFORE Copyright. Jack DORSEY’s proposal is just the last of the movements in that same direction. Some companies and technology personalities in the United States are asking that the country discarding laws related to intellectual property, something that would be fantastic for those who have trained AI models with works protected by intellectual property.
Demands everywhere. Comments arrive in fact just at a time when AI companies They do not stop being sued for copyright rape. The origin of these legal cases is always the same: these companies have been accused of training their models with works and contents Protected by copyright.
“Fair use”. Goal, which downloaded More than 80 TB of bookssome of them protected by the laws of Copyright and intellectual property, recently participated in a trial for an older demand For this same subject. Your lawyers They assured that the company did not violate the laws of Copyright, and that they had made A “fair use” Of those books to be able to develop their AI model, call.
OpenAi already asked for a white letter. The company led by Sam Altman is one of the most affected by these demands. In a proposal published just a month ago Openai requested that the laws of Copyright in the US be eradicated with the objective of “preserving the ability of American models to learn from materials with copyright.” For Altman, the training of AI models should be free of possible demands for copyright rape, and the same now express Dorsy and Musk.
And Google also bothers the copyright. Google has also been accused of using content protected by copyright to train its AI models. In A statement last March the company requested “balanced copyright rules” and explicitly appointed “fair use and text mining and data” as exceptions for these laws.
Justice is barely pronounced. The truth is that demands on copyright violation by AI models They started arriving Shortly after the launch of Chatgpt, but at the moment there have been few judicial sentences. Those that have, by the way, have been small victories for IA companies.
And they continue, and continue. And the situation does not help control this legal collapse in which the world of AI is located. There have been no punishments or consequences for companies, which at most have been protected by reaching agreements with some editorial groups either Content platforms. However, the implications of these violations are clear for artists in all kinds of disciplines and content creators, who see how their works are used without consent –and without compensation– For something they can’t control while the world seems to turn a blind eye.
