The outbreak of the "Data Uprising" in the United States: Hollywood literature, journalism, and social media resist AI

2023-07-18

Eric Goldman, a professor at the Law School of Santa Clara University in the United States, believes that the wave of litigation has just begun, and the "second and third waves" are coming, which will define the future of AI. AI companies argue that it is reasonable to use copyrighted works to train AI - this refers to the concept of "transformational use" in Copyright law of the United States. If materials change in a "transformative" way, an exception will be created. A "data uprising" is breaking out in the United States, with Hollywood, artists, writers, social media companies, and news organizations all protesting. All the spearheads point to such generative AI tools as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, which are accused of illegally using the works of Content creation to train large language models without permission or compensation. The core of this' data uprising 'is a new understanding that online information - stories, artworks, news articles, online posts, and photos - may have significant untapped value. The practice of capturing public content on the internet has a long history, and most companies and non-profit organizations that adopt this approach will publicly disclose it. But before the release of ChatGPT, the data owners were not very familiar with this and did not consider it a particularly serious issue. Now, as the public learns more about the basics of AI training, this situation has changed. "This is a fundamental reshaping of the value of data." Brandon Duderstadt, the founder and CEO of Nomic, said in an interview with the media, "In the past, people obtained the value of data by making it accessible to all people and placing advertisements. Now, people think they should protect their data." In recent months, social media companies such as Reddit and Twitter News organizations such as The New York Times and National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), science fiction writer Paul Tremblay, and actress Sarah Silverman have taken action to oppose their works and data being collected by artificial intelligence without authorization. This series of actions has been referred to as the "Data Revolt" by American media. Last week, Silverman filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Meta, accusing them of using the pirated content of their books when training data, because their Chatbot can accurately summarize the content of their books. In addition, over 5000 authors, including Jodi Picault, Margaret Atwood, and Viet Thanh Nguyen, signed a petition demanding that technology companies obtain their permission, signature, and compensation when using their books as training data. In order to protect their works, writers and artists have adopted different forms of protest. Some choose to lock in their works and prevent artificial intelligence from obtaining them
