Opinion: As AI is embraced, what happens to the artists whose work was stolen to build it?
==========
OpenAI's foundational models are built atop the theft of creative professionals' work. OpenAI announced Media Manager, a tool to be released in 2025, which claims to allow creators to control how their work is used. However, it does not address the fact that OpenAI built its models using authors' and creators' works without consent or compensation. OpenAI and other generative AI companies have been asked to obtain creators' consent and refrain from using works without permission. OpenAI has faced legal action from authors and copyright owners, including a class action by visual artists and a lawsuit by music publishers. OpenAI claims it would be impossible to license all the content they need, but authors' earnings have been declining, while AI companies are valued in the billions. The CEO of the Authors Guild calls for creative professionals to demand what they are owed and determine their own futures.
