Then, as for training students, you need books, lectures, examples, for training large language models you need datasets. And for our study we considered three datasets,

after lectures you have exams. And likewise after training our AI models, we would like to test them.

So the model never saw these statements during the training phase. And only after the training was completed, we used them as a test, as the final exam.

This is unfair and unsustainable. But if we reset, and license our training data, we can build a better generative AI ecosystem that works for everyone,

without whose work these models would not exist. Most AI companies today do not license the majority of their training data. They use web scrapers to find, download

They're often pretty secretive about what they do train on, but what's clear is that training on copyrighted work without a license is rife.

And a further 21 percent didn’t reveal enough information to know either way. Training on copyrighted work without a license has rapidly become standard across much of the generative AI industry.

has rapidly become standard across much of the generative AI industry. But this training, this unlicensed training on creative work,
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
But this training, this unlicensed training on creative work, has serious negative consequences for the people behind that work.
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
And this is for the simple reason that generative AI competes with its training data. This is not the narrative that AI companies like to portray.
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
We like to talk about democratization, about letting more people be creative. But the fact that AI competes with its training data is inescapable. A large language model trained on short stories
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
but we're already seeing exactly the sort of effects you'd expect in a world in which generative AI competes with its training data. For instance, the well-known filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma recently said
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
and it competes with the people behind that work. Now creators argue this training is illegal. The legal framework of copyright
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
affords creators the exclusive right to authorize copies of their work, and AI training involves copying. Here, in the US, many AI companies argue
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
Here, in the US, many AI companies argue that training AI falls under the fair use copyright exception, which allows unlicensed copying in a limited set of circumstances,

and AI song generators outputting 10 songs a second. To argue that human learning and AI training are the same and should be treated the same

AI companies also argue that licensing their training data would be impractical. They use so much training data, they say,
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
that licensing their training data would be impractical. They use so much training data, they say, that individual payments to each creator behind the data would be small.
How AI Models Steal Creative Work — and What to Do About It | Ed Newton-Rex | TED · TED
and that's to say nothing of the smaller ones that don't get reported. There are marketplaces of training data where you can get more data. You can expand this with data that's in the public domain --

Now these companies take a variety of approaches to licensing their training data. We have an AI voice model that's trained on individual voices it's licensed.

And this is happening more and more now. You will hear that a requirement to license training data somehow stifles innovation,

but using models such as revenue shares. And there's another major upside to licensing your training data. All of this training on copyrighted work

is that these artists, these creators, view the unlicensed training on their work by generative AI models as totally unjust and potentially catastrophic to their professions.
