FTC Continues To Wade Into Copyright Issues In AI Without Understanding Anything | Techdirt - https://www.techdirt.com/2024/01/02/ftc-continues-to-wade-into-copyright-issues-in-ai-without-understanding-anything/While the conclusion of the report finally admits that many of these issues are beyond the FTC’s jurisdiction, it does not explain why they still feel the need to weigh in on these issues with a wholly one-sided approach, with repeated explicit endorsements of anti-competitive copyright monopolies, which will lead to greater concentrations of wealth and power.#twig, 961
