In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges. OpenAI rival Stability AI, for example, is currently being sued by stock image maker Getty Images for using its copyrighted data to train its AI image generator.
Aaaaaand there it is. They don’t want to admit how much copyrighted materials they’ve been using.
Would you expand on that a bit more?
That indeed needed expansion. Thanks. See my edit.
Not to say this is on the EU but it and other governments need to shape the direction of AI rather than ban it. Banning Western or even slowing development in the West will just give evil governments like Russia and China an edge with the tech. Its potential for misuses are vast.
Ah I see, thanks
