Unlocking the Future: How AI Copyright Licensing Could Revolutionize the GAI Market Overnight
Copyright licensing encourages creativity and innovation by rewarding copyright owners and providing AI companies with quality, curated training material. Indiscriminately scraping online sources risks exposure to illegal and/or low-quality works to train GAI. This results in GAI models generating outputs that infringe copyright and other intellectual property, violate privacy and right of publicity laws, spew propaganda or discriminatory language, generate misleading information, and otherwise result in harmful content. Licensing overwhelmingly reduces these risks by offering fact-checked, high-quality training material in the form of copyrighted works. The goal of gold standard GAI can be achieved by training GAI models with licensed copyrighted works.
