“Not citing sources is probably a conscious design choice, as citing sources would mean sharing the sources used to train the language models” This may be a choice that comes back to bite them. Without citing their sources, they are unreliable as a source for anything one does not know already.

Just to clarify, my point was not about Getty to begin with. Whether Getty would win and whether a big corporation should own such a large amount of visual content are questions outside this particular thread. It would certainly be interesting to see how things roll. But AI/ML is way more than jus

I'm not so sure Getty's got a case, though. If the images are on the Web, is using them to train an AI something copyright would cover? That to me seems more equivalent to just looking at the images, and there's no copyright problem in going to Getty's site and just looking at a bunch of their pict

Not citing sources is probably a conscious design choice, as citing sources would mean sharing the sources used to train the language models. Getty has just sued Stability AI, alleging the use of 12 million photographs without permission or compensation. Imagine if Stability had to purchase from Ge

Thanks very much Andreas and João! Mike, there is quite a lot of text and additional case studies and images. You need to click into the different sections to see that. I've attached a few screenshots which hopefully illuminate this a bit :) Best Lucy On Fri, 3 Feb 2023 at 16:23, wrote: > Se

Hi, I think the Wikimedia community is generally well-positioned to create high-quality training data for machine learning models. So, improving the crowdsourcing of wikidata and structured data is essential for making this easy-to-use curated training data. So, the focus should be on making data

I see our biggest challenge is going to be detecting these AI tools adding content whether it's media or articles, along with identifying when they are in use by sources. The failing of all new AI is not in its ability but in the lack of transparency with that being able to be identified by the re

Hi,On the product side, NLP based AI biggest concern to me is that it would drastically decrease traffic to our websites/apps.
