After four years, the EU has finally approved the AI Act. The law entered into force on August 1 and takes effect over the next three years. [EU Journal] The AI Act squarely targets the US AI indus…
Sure, but this isn't about making copyright stricter, but just making it explicit that the existing law applies to AI tech.
I'm very critical of copyright law, but letting specifically big tech pretend like they're not distributing derivative work because it's derived from billions of works on the internet is not the gateway to copyright abolition I'd hope to see.
There are many good reasons to be critical of copyright, especially because it has been abused so much. Allowing big tech grifters unlimited access to everything everyone ever puts online because they promise to “democratize art” when all they really do it feed it into their spicy autocomplete engines which then flood the internet with AI sludge is not one of them.
Especially when the same fucking people then do a 180 and want protection for the shit their roided Clippy puked out.
This isn't a copyright thing. This is a tech regulation thing, that creates the possibility for data protection agencies to stick their noses in AI company's business.
