One wonders if the people whose photos were used to build this system were compensated appropriately for their contribution. Something tells me that royalties were not discussed.
Uncompensated, or grossly under-compensated, use of personal data for AI systems is a serious issue that one no one seems to want to address.
- RenRav 7y agoI think that every time I see these AI people generators. Do they release their training sets of images, or is there even a way to check?
- protomyth 7y agoI’m sure some lawyer will get the list in discovery the first time it comes a bit close to a model’s look. I do wonder if they have the list, though.
- daenz 7y agoSerious question, what are the legal implications for using a publicly available online image for ML training?

It's not as if researchers are trawling facebook to build their AI models. Just looking at the output, and the unnaturally specific body poses, I'd guess they just put in an order for 50,000 stock photos and went on from there. If you negotiate, you can trivially get it down to 0.10 per image which is just 5000 dollars. And by trivially, I mean just email several sources saying your budget is in the low thousands. So most likely, everyone got compensated. All rights were preserved.
