Google has reported this to Australian regulators Your generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems must be able to be trained on any type of dataincluding those that are subject to copyright, unless their owners expressly object.
For generative AI to be useful, it requires huge data sources to train on, and if you intend to exploit that data, you have to pay for it. Unless you are Google. In this case you think you are an exception.
Google has filed a lawsuit with Australian regulators to allow any data to be used unless the owners specifically refuse.
Google is asking for an Australian takeover “Copyright systems that allow for appropriate and fair use of copyrighted content to enable training of AI models in Australia on a wide and diverse range of data, while supporting viable opt-out options for companies that prefer to that their data will not be used for training.” AI systems.”
Prompt content creators to explicitly oppose their data being part of AI training (instead of not being used by default unless specifically authorized). It means admitting that your work is being taken advantage of.
Also, with regulators making plans for all AI vendors, it also means it may not be possible to prove whether or not a company has stopped using this data.
