Mainstream media giants are urging the US Government to make Big Tech pay for the material it takes to run AI products.
A host of publishers based in the News/Media Alliance were seen calling on the American Government to make Big Tech pay for material it took from them without payment. These publishers, including the likes of The Guardian, New York Times, and many others who rolled out a campaign to express complaints.
The new initiative called Support Responsible AI accused Big Tech of taking others’ creative work to design AI products without offering any form of compensation to the creators. The home page of Support Responsible AI is urging the government to stop Big Tech from stealing, as it’s unethical.
The fact that they use others’ content to fuel their own AI drives is causing serious resentment in the media world, as they are the ones who make the country great. This latest advertising campaign entails a lot of headlining banners in red and white featuring phrases that hit a chord with many. They include protection of jobs from AI theft, AI steals from you too, and keep a lookout for AI.
You can expect to see hundreds of these banners rolling out on the streets in the US as well as online. So in essence, the campaign is requesting three main things. The first has to do with forcing Big Tech and AI firms to compensate all content creators, make the matter transparent, including attributing AI materials, and also stopping Big Tech from using its might to take part in unlawful practices.
The CEO for News/Media Alliance shared how the media industry is not against the AI world. However, it wishes to see more balance where everyone can benefit. It wants AI to behave responsibly by giving returns to those who provide it with content that fuels intelligence and gives rise to serious global competitiveness.
The news comes just days after we saw AI giant OpenAI rollout a new picture generation tool. It went viral in no time for producing pictures in the theme of popular animation studio from Japan, dubbed Studio Ghibli, not to mention the feature of producing fake receipts.
The matter really made a lot of people upset, including graphic designers on the X app who feel it’s very anti-AI behavior. We saw more people leave the app in 2024 when X chose to train its AI using posts from users. So as you can tell, the matter is a debatable one and people aren’t willing to let it go too easily this time around.
