The EU AI Act would require the company to disclose details of its training methods and data sources.

If we're not going to make this apply to AI companies, which have overporportionate power already, then what else is there to talk about?

So much for calling yourself open

keeping information like training methods and data sources secret was necessary to stop its work being copied by rivals.

In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected.

These two paragraphs one after the other really brightened my day.

Yes, that’s the idea, Sam.

I've talked about this so much but nobody bloody listens. I sound like I'm crazy sometimes but it's fucking real.

You don't know what the AI is doing so you have no reason to trust it beyond an expectation that it will give you accurate information but that's not guaranteed.

They don't have permission to use the vast amounts of information they've scraped from the internet to train an AI model. No one gave OpenAI the permission to commercialise the use of their content in an AI model.

It was all well and good when they were a non-profit but they're selling products now. AI trained on our data and content we produced.

Asking these companies to disclose the sources they’re training their algorithms on just makes sense. You can’t allow companies to build for-profit algorithms built on copyrighted material that they haven’t paid for.

What does the Open in the name stand for, then?

Very, very tired of companies embracing openness and share-alike mentalities when it's their turn to take and then skulking pit when it's their time to give. Reminds me of how Crunchyroll started off selling a subscription to stream other people's pirated and fansubbed anime.

Yes, that's how laws & regulations work.

Can't or won't?

"But your honor, that would be devastating to my client's case!"

Good

This is it in the nutshell. Thank you.

Well from the looks of it, the US is not far behind in the efforts to regulate. It’s hard to not see this as nothing more than a negotiation tactic.

To much hype on that one , like Italy to ban bla bla bla And everything it’s ok now
