Are Chefs Losing Control? The Hidden Battle Between AI and Copyright Licensing Revealed
The legal argumentation seemed at its worst when arguing that “It is not in the public interest for the largest technology companies to have an oligopoly on LLM training due to the licensing barriers.” As if the licensing costs of training a frontier model are anywhere near the costs of the data centers, the power, or the high-performance chips necessary to train the models. The argument hit its nadir when in the footnote (number 13) in which it argued that “American AI companies [were] at a competitive disadvantage” to those in countries that “don’t respect US intellectual property law.” This argument is fundamentally and oddly like saying “others are stealing your work, so you should let us steal too.”
