#USA #AI #GenerativeAI #AITraining #Copyright #IP: "Outside of the committee room, there is less agreement that mandatory licensing is necessary. OpenAI and other AI companies have argued that it’s not viable to license all training data, and some independent AI experts agree.
“What would that even look like?” asks Sarah Kreps, who directs the Tech Policy Institute at Cornell University. “Requiring licensing data will be impractical, favor the big firms like OpenAI and Microsoft that have the resources to pay for these licenses, and create enormous costs for startup AI firms that could diversify the marketplace and guard against hegemonic domination and potential antitrust behavior of the big firms.”
Even within circles that favor some form of licensing for AI training data, there’s some dissent about whether it should be legally compulsory rather than simply encouraged as an industry norm. “As a high-quality and up-to-date source of information, news media is a valuable source of data for AI companies. My opinion is that they should pay to license it and that it is in their interest to do so,” Northwestern computational journalism professor Nick Diakopoulos says. “But I do not think a mandatory licensing regime is tenable.”
