This new report shows the havoc AI is already wreaking in the creative sector. Evidence from 10,000 British creatives shows: - 58% of photographers have lost work to AI - 32% of illustrators have lost commissions to AI - 86% of authors say AI has reduced their earnings Generative AI competes with the work it is trained on, and the people behind that work. Every single new piece of evidence backs this up. The theft must be stopped - government must step in. ism.org/brave-new-world

The UK government's 'Sovereign AI Unit' has partnerships with 4 companies. All are North American. All are being sued for alleged copyright infringement. It is beyond astonishing that this is who the government saw fit to partner with. gov.uk/government/collection…

Incredibly powerful new TED talk by @carolecadwalla. "I am going to turn to Sam Altman, who is coming here as a TED speaker, and say that this does not belong to you. ChatGPT has been trained on my IP, my labour, my personal data. And I did not consent." youtube.com/watch?v=TZOoT8Ab…

The judge has rejected a bunch of OpenAI’s arguments for dismissing parts of various copyright lawsuits. His key decisions: - OpenAI *can* be sued for conduct from >3 years before the lawsuits were filed, since they haven’t proved that the plaintiffs should have known about the infringement by then - OpenAI may be liable for infringing activity of their users, since it’s reasonable to think they knew about it (it was widely publicized), and the existence of non-infringing uses doesn’t necessarily get OpenAI off the hook Worth reading the whole thing, and final decisions won’t come until later, but it’s great news that the judge rejected these motions to dismiss. storage.courtlistener.com/re…
