- chii 3y agoExactly. And if copyright applies, wouldnt it imply that someone learning something from a book could also then be controlled by the licensing of said book on how their gained knowledge could be utilized in the future?
- jprete 3y agoNo, because AI training is not human learning.
- ndiddy 3y agoAt least in the US, the Supreme Court has decided in the past that shrinkwrap licenses can be used to put restrictions on works that copyright doesn't apply to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProCD,_Inc._v._Zeidenberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProCD,_Inc._v._Zeidenberg), so I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing clickwrap "you agree not to train AI on this page without the author's explicit permission" licenses.
