A new EU bill aimed at ChatGPT could give creatives more power over their work

Description:
ChatGPT could face regulation as the EU proposes a new bill that demands 
public disclosure of the AI's training materials.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

According to new draft legislation from the European Union, developers of 
artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT will be required to publicly 
disclose any copyrighted material used in building and training their 
systems. This new legislation is set to be the Wests first comprehensive set 
of rules governing the steady stream of AI expansion.



If it goes ahead, this kind of legislation would give both publishers and 
content creators a new way to seek a share of profits when their work is used 
as source material for AI-generated content - something many writers, 
artists, and other creatives have been begging for. 

Say you ask ChatGPT to write you a script based on your favorite YouTube 
series, the bot will comb through the web and gobble up all the existing 
relevant content online in order to produce the new work. The issue of AI 
bots sifting through other people's work has been one of the bigger concerns 
raised as weve seen more and more chatbots integrated into our lives through 
the likes of Google Bard or Microsoft Bing. 



The drafts of the bill and amendments arent final yet, but they do reflect a 
solid agreement among members that emergent AI tech is in dire need of proper 
regulation. The EU states aim to negotiate and pass a final version of the 
bill later this year. Nipping things in the bud 

The AI arms race began quickly after the release of ChatGPT last fall, 
prompting companies like Microsoft and Google to rush into releasing their 
own generative AI tools. Under the new provisions that will be added to the 
EUs AI bill, developers will have to publish a sufficiently detailed summary 
of any copyrighted materials used in training or informing the bots. 

For the unaware: AI models are essentially trained to make their own content 
by ingesting and analyzing a vast amount of existing text, images, videos, 
and music clips. The new legislation is geared towards making it so that the 
owners of the original work the models are learning from will have more 
rights as to what happens with their work - and potentially enable them to 
demand compensation.



The big question at the core of this is whether AI companies truly have the 
right to scrape content off the internet to feed their machine learning 
models. A lot of users feel hesitant to give ChatGPT their work when seeking 
improvement or critique from the bot as they fear what the bot will do with 
the information given. Only recently did we get the option to opt out of 
letting ChatGPT use your data for training purposes . 

As we invite more and more AI tools into our lives, we should be quick to 
hold these models - and the developers behind them - accountable to the law, 
as there is no telling what may come from such a popular emerging technology.
