AI vs IP: Whose Vibe is it Anyway?
While our economy stands to gain a lot from the next big thing in tech, many in creative sectors seem inadequately compensated when their work is used to train models.
Regulation takes time, big tech is powerful, and 'superintellience' is an attention hog. So...
What does regulatory discussion among governments and tech companies look like right now?
What does a future look like where AI is trained ethically?
Is the incoming economic impact of AI too big to get caught up in IP?
