The U.K. government launches a consultation on regulating the use of copyrighted content by tech companies for AI training, addressing concerns from artists and publishers.
The U.K. government initiated a consultation on Tuesday regarding measures to regulate the use of copyrighted material by tech companies for training their artificial intelligence (AI) models. This move comes amidst growing concerns from artists and publishers who object to the practice of companies like OpenAI and Google freely accessing and utilizing their content to train these models. OpenAI recently released its AI video generation model Sora publicly in the U.S.
and other countries on December 9th. The U.K. government aims to provide greater clarity for both the creative industries and AI developers regarding the acquisition and utilization of intellectual property by AI firms for training purposes. Some artists and publishers express dissatisfaction with the unrestricted scraping of their content by companies like OpenAI and Google to train large language models (LLMs). LLMs are foundational to today's generative AI systems, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude. OpenAI refuted allegations made by the New York Times, asserting that using publicly available web data for AI model training falls under 'fair use' and that they offer an 'opt-out' for rights holders as an ethical practice. In a separate development, Getty Images, an image distribution platform, filed a lawsuit against Stability AI in the U.K., alleging that the company scraped millions of images from its websites without permission to train its Stable Diffusion AI model. Stability AI has contested the lawsuit, stating that the training and development of its model occurred outside the U.K
