That definition makes it clear TDM is intended as research tool, intended to produce only statistics, not extract expressions into a neural database. There is a qualitative difference in ML being used for mere analysis and research, and ML being used for generative applications!

TDM Definition and Legislative Intent in AI Regulation
By
–
I think there's a strong argument for this, based on definition of TDM which is "analysis" and "analytical" only (which imply no downstream uses except "research") — nothing to do with reproducing inputs or automating labour. But it does go against the intuition of legislators.

By
–
I think Ollie/Jenny is a bot, but if not, there is nothing but my admiration for your work and expertise in our interactions here! You have got things consistently right, both morally and intellectually. If there's any hint of frustration it's with the system itself…

Policymakers Stall on LLM Legitimacy with New Legislation
By
–
This fits with the overall strategy of policymakers to stall for time (knowing LLMs are likely not legitimate) and then plaster over any concerns with new legislation. (The new legislation is evidence that web-scale AI was not legal in the first place, or they wouldn't need it.)

UK Copyright Law Pressured to Legitimize AI Training Scraping
By
–
Commercial text- and data-mining is *not* covered by Copyright exceptions in the U.K. — so they're being pressured by corporate interests (and Blair's "Institute") to legitimize indiscriminate scraping & training somehow.

AI Automation Paradox: More Meetings, Everyone Becomes Manager
By
–
When software (or AI) takes care of the mechanical tasks, people will 'naturally' spend more time in meetings. Everyone becomes a middle manager!

Producer Liability for GenAI Systems Development and Compliance
By

Here's what adding teeth to (2) looks like @IATSE
: (ii) Producer is responsible & liable for ensuring GenAI systems are developed in non-infringing ways, respecting privacy, and without illegal content (e.g. CSAM). This obligation may not be offloaded through contractual means. -
