AI BREAKING NEWS 🤖 : A computer scientist and a legal scholar shed light on the black box of processing steps in AI training - for the first time on this scale. 🇪🇺 The presentation of the interdisciplinary study “Copyright & Training of Generative AI - Technological and Legal Foundations” took place today in the European Parliament. In spring, the Copyright Initiative commissioned Prof. Dr. Tim W. Dornis (University of Hannover) in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Sebastian Stober (University of Magdeburg) with a tandem expert opinion on the technological and legal aspects of training generative AI models. 👉 “As a closer look at the technology of generative AI models reveals, the training of such models is not a case of text and data mining. It is a case of copyright infringement – no exception applies under German and European copyright law,” says Prof. Dornis. Prof. Stober explains that “parts of the training data can be memorized in whole or in part by current generative models - LLMs and (latent) diffusion models - and can therefore be generated again with suitable prompts by end users and thus reproduced.” 👀 “This study is explosive because it proves that we are dealing with large-scale theft of intellectual property. The ball is now in the politicians' court to draw the necessary conclusions and finally put an end to this theft at the expense of journalists and other authors,” https://lnkd.in/eudQsFAw #ai #copyright #authors #actors
