California lawmakers are again considering A.B. 412, a bill that would require AI developers to identify and disclose copyrighted works used to train generative AI systems.The problem this year is the same as last year: it’s practically impossible to comply with this law. The bill demands...
It’s practically impossible when you’re scraping the whole damn internet with absolutely no regard to any copyrights whatsoever, yes.
The whole point of this law is to make AI companies stop doing that. To make them stop stealing every copyrighted work they can get their hands on to feed their plagiarism machines.
(It is possible to train an AI while still respecting copyright. Adobe’s image-generating AI features were trained only on images that are public domain or images Adobe actually owns the rights to.)
Adobe did something ethically?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry
You were saying that you actually believe that?
Absolutely not true. They trained their models on all the work people put up on Adobe Stock, changed the terms of use to be opt-out, and then disseminated the lie they’re they’re doing “ethical AI”. It’s complete bullshit. There’s no way to train generative AI and respect copyright.
No, they didn’t do it ethically. But they did to it legally. Which is more than you can say about most AI companies.
