Copyright in the AI Age
Thank you Getty Images for advocating on behalf of content creators who fuel the creative industries responsible for nearly $1 trillion of economic output. Below is an excerpt of Getty Images submission to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy with respect to its request for input on the US AI Action Plan.
Getty Images advocates for an AI Action Plan that:
Requires full transparency on the training data utilized by AI model providers making their models available in the US;
Affirms that the commercial deployment of AI models where the AI model’s outputs compete for the same economic market as the owners of the training data shall not be deemed “fair use” under US copyright law;
Rejects blanket indemnity for AI model providers to create the incentive for AI models providers to reduce societal harms from the deployment and use of their models (e.g., deepfake pornography); and
Rejects unclear, untested and unfounded technology platforms requiring US copyright holders to “opt out” of training.
