Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic hits out at copyright lawsuit filed by music publishing corporations, claiming the content ingested into its models falls under ‘fair use’ and that any licensing regime created to manage its use of copyrighted material in training data would be too complex and costly to work in practice
GenAI tools ‘could not exist’ if firms are made to pay copyright::undefined
In general, if the US government were smart (and not currently tearing itself apart) it would be creating a generative AI public service like the postal service, potentially even relying on public government documents and the library system for training.
Offer it at effectively cost for the public to use. Would drive innovation and development, nothing produced by it would be copyrightable, and it would put pressure on private options to compete against it.
We can still have the FedEx or DHL of gen AI out there, but they would need to contend with the public option being cheaper and more widely available for use.

In addition to the US government actually needing to do work, the senators would need to understand how to turn a computer on and off.
So the government gets to ignore copyright, but nobody else?
No thanks.
Yeah, that’s pretty much literally written into the copyright laws…
Yeah, but the attempts to kill off the USPS have been surprisingly bi-partisan
I literally don’t think the US will ever see a new socialized industry ever happen
Edited for clarity, to make it more obvious I’m not blaming just one party for this
