AFAICT, the courts currently lean towards allowing AI to be trained even without author permission, and this doesn't violate copyright law.
Copyright law says you can't sell unauthorized copies of copywritten works. Doesn't say you need to get author permission before using their works to train AI.
- JoshTriplett 14d agoYes, the courts are leaning towards creating the exception that I said should not exist, giving an advantage to AI companies over the humans that created the work they've trained on. That is not surprising, but it's still harmful.
- Windchaser 13d agoSo long as the AI company owns a copy of the copywritten work.. does training on it represent an "exception"? They're not reproducing the work for sale, no? So how does training violate CR law?
- JoshTriplett 13d agoPreparing a derivative work, and distributing that.
