Nick Clegg, former Meta executive, defended AI's reliance on vast data sets at the Charleston Festival. He suggested that asking for creator consent prior to using their work for AI training is impractical and could negatively impact the industry. Artistic concerns over copyright were acknowledged, yet Clegg implied that growing demands for strict permissions from creators could hinder technological advancements. His comments coincide with ongoing discourse in the UK regarding AI regulations and copyright, following a key parliamentary vote on the matter.
Quite a lot of voices say 'you can only train on my content, [if you] first ask.' And I have to say that strikes me as somewhat implausible because these systems train on vast amounts of data.
If AI companies were required only in Britain to gain permission to use copyright holders' works, you would basically kill the AI industry in this country overnight.
