[Allpartners.music360-beta] "AI is not theft"

[María de Miguel Molina]

Hi Roel,

The next UPV post is about this debate ;-) …allow or reject…or maybe a middle point.

The option to remove copyright permission for AI platforms could be controversial. By now, the European Union is reluctant to do it. 

In the UK, the Government proposes to exclude copyright works in the case of AI platforms (that need them to train their models). Then, the House of Commons is in favour of allowing AI firms to use artists' content without permission and compensation. 

Against, the artists and the House of Lords request to add transparency requirements and ensure copyright holders give (informed) permission for their work to be used. 

The reality is that some AI companies are quite opaque giving information while others are trying to be transparent. I think that some information of the process and trying to respect the authors gives ethical value to these companies…but maybe I’m naive…

Best wishes,
María
