Innovative AI Ethics: OpenAI's Move Towards Licensing Journalistic Content
In a recent report by Gizmodo, we discern an intriguing move by OpenAI, the renowned artificial intelligence lab. The company is actively absorbing news content from several publishers, extending its influence over journalistic content. Recently, The Financial Times disclosed a deal with OpenAI, which allows for using their high-quality journalism for training and informing OpenAI's AI model, ChatGPT.
OpenAI's move is a pioneer approach towards the ethical use of AI. The strategy leads us to wonder why OpenAI is paying for some datasets and not others, especially when ChatGPT was primarily trained on a large scale of other web-scraped content that OpenAI obtained without payment.
Interestingly, an OpenAI licensing deal signifies extensive rewards including a guaranteed slot in ChatGPT's responses. This kind of partnership facilitates a solid interaction with the emerging gigantic information distribution channel before it overpowers. However, OpenAI is already making use of a vast collection of their content.
The dynamics of copyright infringement are also brought into light with New York Times, heavily included in OpenAI's training dataset, pursuing legal action against OpenAI. Publishers, therefore, are seeing licensing agreements with OpenAI as the only route to maintain relevance in the AI-powered era.
In summary, OpenAI's licensing strategy has amplified discussions around the ethical use of AI, copyright laws, and the need for creators to adapt to the rapidly evolving AI technology landscape. Crucially, how should laws adapt to determine what’s ‘fair use’ in the age of generative AI? Time, and our laws, will have to catch up.
