Recently, copyright issues in the AI field have attracted widespread attention. Giants such as OpenAI and Microsoft are facing lawsuits over copyright issues of AI model training data, and the AI mapping platform Midjourney has also received complaints from users due to the similarity of its works. These incidents highlight the legality of the sources of AI model training data and the responsibilities of technology companies in copyright protection. At the same time, the "Artificial Intelligence Basic Model Transparency Act of 2023" proposed by the U.S. House of Representatives also indicates that future AI development will pay more attention to data transparency and compliance. This article will provide a brief analysis of these events.
Recently, AI giants OpenAI and Microsoft have faced copyright disputes and were accused of using copyrighted materials for training. In addition, the AI mapping platform Midjourney has caused user complaints due to the high similarity of the new version V6. Obtaining copyright permission before training an AI model is a difficult and time-consuming task, and technology companies need to take more responsibility. The U.S. House of Representatives submitted the "Artificial Intelligence Basic Model Transparency Act of 2023" to emphasize the importance of data transparency training.
Copyright issues in the AI field are becoming increasingly severe, requiring joint efforts from all parties to establish sound laws, regulations and industry norms to balance the relationship between AI development and intellectual property protection. In the future, the training and use of AI models will focus more on compliance and transparency to promote the healthy development of AI technology.
