US: News Outlets Call for Transparency in AI Data Usage
Hello everyone! A collective of news organizations has issued an open letter advocating for stricter regulations to safeguard copyright and ensure transparency in the use of training data for generative AI models.
The open letter urges global lawmakers to enforce rules demanding data transparency, rights holders' consent for training data usage, and provisions for media companies to negotiate with AI model operators. It also calls for AI firms to tackle bias and misinformation and identify AI-generated content.
Signatories include Agence France-Presse, Getty Images, The Associated Press, and more. They argue that foundation models using media content without proper consideration undermine media diversity and financial viability.
The call comes in light of Google's AI news writing tool and concerns over AI training on copyrighted content. The US Senate and legal cases have addressed these issues, emphasizing the need to protect creators' rights.
