A team of academics has attracted news coverage with claims that AI regurgitates and competes unfairly with works in its training data, theses with a conveniently tight relationship to copyright plaintiffs' legal arguments. Now a leading AI scholar says one of their papers is misleading.

Locking training data behind a compulsory licensing regime isn't the way to empower artists with the latest generative AI tools to supercharge their own creativity. It *is* a way to boost the revenues of GEMA's giant US and other Ā© aggregator affiliates: progresschamber.org/news/ger…

Great post, well worth a read! šŸ‘‰šŸ¼ ā€œ[I]f you are left-leaning, or a Libertarian, or you are sceptical of big tech, the only way through is with openness. The only way we will become less dependent on big tech is through the deployment and development of viable open alternatives.ā€

My oped on @IPOsgoode: Why AI Red Teams Need More Lawyers After participating in red teams, it became clear to me that safety testing of AI systems CANNOT remain the domain of engineers. Here are 5 things lawyers bring to the "AI breaking" table Ā yorku.ca/osgoode/iposgoode/2…

Huge and very good news for doc filmmakers on fair use today! The 10th Circuit has reversed itself in the Whyte Monkee case, ruling that fair use DOES protect the inclusion of 3rd-party footage in the breakout hit *Tiger King*. Big 🧵, unpacking it all:
