Creator Data Initiative: Funding Discrepancies and Commons Growth
By
–
I do question the origins of the initiative in retrospect, and whether it was ever about helping creators but more about growing the commons — feeding a beast that always wants more data. Either way, the funding discrepancies need to be explained!

–
The 2022 report lists only a small selection of the foundations and corporations funding it. In the past, large players in BigTech were sponsors but that seems to be obfuscated now… Such discrepancies are worrying given the importance and their influence on global policy.

DMCA Safe Harbor Implications for AI Platform MJ
By
–
DMCA doesn't distinguish the details of what's being sold by MJ. They don't qualify for Safe Harbor. The *interface* is like a search engine. You can ignore related caselaw but that's not very scholarly of you considering you're building legal AI. Good luck with it!

DMCA Safe Harbor Implications for AI-Generated Content Sales

They are hosting the files as well. The text interface is like a search engine so there's precedent there. Furthermore, Safe Harbor provisions don't even apply in this case because MJ is selling the outputs — and couldn't comply with the rest of the DMCA even if they wanted to.

> ask for a "screencap"

Legal Datasets and Market Economics for AI Training

This ignores the fact that there are estimated hundreds of millions of public domain or permissive licensed images. Research could easily continue with those… Further, if there's a market for data the prices will drop quickly and incentivise the creation of legal datasets.
